ance ever given A Fairs Exchange- The : new
comedy Is by the author of A Yankee Consul,
as well as of Checkers; Mr. Boss* last sea-
son's successes, and that Henry M. .Blossom has
made a bigger success of his third piece Is the
opinion; prevalent among: Philadelphia theatre-
goers. Which scored the greater success, Mr.
Ross or A Fair Exchange; they are willing to
let go undecided, giving to both the fullest
measure of success. ;
The Gaxrick was crowded. Mr. Boss was
applauded vociferously; upon his debut, and In-
itetest; increased; as the play proceeded. A Fair
Exchange tells the story of "a young man who
; has-; returned east that he might win the
affections of a girl with whom he is deeply in
love. After surmounting all the obstacles ' that
could possibly be placed in his way '; the young
man: Is at last triumphant. Checkers is re-
called by an Intensely exciting horserace which
stakes place. In addition to this there are two
other love matches, both of which are interest-
ing^: libMje Hudson Collier, as leading lady;
; recerred her; full share of applause, and critics
are showering praise upon her. Bijou Feman-
/ dezvsjol and George Parsons also scored
hits. The production is appropriately staged.

K0BEBT8OH UT THE COHaiTEBOB
Forbes Bobertson opened his season at the
Scala Theatre. London, Eng., Saturday evening,
Sept. 23. appearing for the first time in the
new blank verse play, Morven. which has been
rechrlst^ned The Conqueror. Gertrude Elliott,
in private life Mrs. Forbes Bobertson, Is his
leading lady. Reports from the British me-
tropolis say that the play is splendidly pro-
duced and well acted, yet critics are favoring
it: with their choicest Invective. -
The story deals with a conqueror of the
middle ages. The drama ; opens with his re-
tirement -from further victories, having tired of
them. The Conqueror sees the younger daugh-
ter of the chleftan whose stronghold be has
lust captured. He falls In love with her,
but she is only a child. It Is Morven. He de-
cided to go away for a period of eight years,
and then returns and claims her for himself.
The Conqueror follows out his Intention, but In
the: : meantime another — r-t^tmfng to be the
Conqueror, but who Is in reality the conquered"—
presses his claim. Morven Ustens to him and
loves him. When the real Conqueror returns he
finds that the prize has been taken by another.
The successful wooer Is condemned to die. but
Morven wins his life from the Conqueror at the
price of herself. At last the false conqueror Is
spared and the real Conqueror destroys him-
self. The plays ends Interrogatively, the ques-
tion remaining for the living lover whether he
has not. in winning, lost all.
Henry AInsley played the part of the false
conqueror.
LONDON THEATRE CLOSED.
One of the Most Magnificent Playhouses
iff England in Danger of Collapsing
His Majesty's Theatre, one of London's most
magnificent playhouses, was closed Sept. 25 be-
cause of an ominous crack which appeared in
the marble proscenium arch. The performance
of Oliver Twist. In which Beerbohm Tree and
his company were playing, was about finished
when the : dangerous crevice was discovered.
After the performance Mr. Tree appeared before
the footlights and announced that Oliver Twist
would be transferred to the Waldorf Theatre
the following evening, stating the reason. The
audience quickly, but quietly left the playhouse.
; Upon examination it was discovered that
the ;: proscenium: had subsided, very probtfbly
due to the fact that a new tube railway is
being bnllt nndtr the theatre. Just what action
will be taken has not yet been decided, though
it is very probable that strenuous efforts will be
made to save the theatre.
Manager MdCfcllan, of the Waldorf, agreed to
postpone; the production of the new play. Lights
Out. in order that Oliver Twist might play In
that theatre at least three weeks.
DID NOT GET A QUORUM
The meeting of the Transcontinental Vaude-
ville Association, announced for Kansas City,
Mo.. Sept. 18. did not materallze. A number
of the members met at the office of the Majes-
tic Theatre, but delayed trains kept a quorum
from meeting. Those who did arrive on time
could not wait for the other, and the meeting
was called off. No time was set for another
meeting.

New Haven, Connecticut.
George Ade's new comedy. Just Oat of Col-
lege, was given Its premiere Monday evening,

ing role. The cast:

George Ade's name has been advanced a
notch in the playwrights' hall of fame, if re-
ports that emanate from New Haven concern-
ing the: new play are true. It is reported that
the audience became wildly- enthusiastic, and.
greeted each act with renewed applause. Just
Out of College Is pronounced the greatest of
the Ade successes.
Just Out of College is in three acts. It is the
story of a Yale graduate, poor but willing. His
name is Edward Worthlngton Swinger. Swinger
makes the acquaintance of a pickel manufac-
turer's daughter, Carolyn Pickering. He pressed
his claim, but old man Pickering calls a bait.
He wishes . his daughter to marry a business
man, and tells Swinger that he will give him
three mouths and £20,000 to prove that he
is such a man. Swinger accepts and takes a
check for the capital. Swinger forms the ac-
quaintance of Nellie Jones, a business woman In
Pickering's offices. They go Into partnership.
They do a flourishing business and are about
to unload upon the old pickel king when he
gets next. The deal, however, fully convinces
Mr. Pickering that Swinger is a business man
of the first water and he consents to the
marriage.
In the role of Swinger Mr. Wheelock is re-
ported to have given a most artistic perform-
ance. He was ably supported. The plav is
well staged. Mr. Wheelock made a neat little
curtain speech In which he thanked the audi-
ence for the enthusiastic reception.
Just Out of College went Into the Lyceum
Theatre, New Tork City, Thursday, 28. for an
Indefinite run.

The play has been pruned considerable since
Its Buffalo premiere, and that It is very in-
teresting Is proved by the fact that one of
the largest audiences which ever assembled in
the city by the sea greeted the performance
vociferously. The play 1b in four acts. The
first scene takes place in Maudsley Towers,
during an annual gathering, where Capt. Win-
negate learns of the disgrace of his kinsman,
the Earl of Kerhill. who has embezzled trust
funds and ia unable to make good. These funds
belong to the regiment of which WInnegate
is honorary colonel. Exposure and ruin is
threatened. The captain is In love with the
earl's wife, and to shield her he shoulders
the crime and disappears. The second act
brings the action to Long Horn saloon, at
Maverick, a live Wyoming town. It is two
years later. Capt. Wynnegate is known to
his companions as Jim Carston. A young In-
dian girl saves his life when it Is threatened
by a cowboy.
Act three takes place five years later at
Jim Carston'8 ranch on Green River In eastern
Utah. The Indian maid who saved his life
now calls him husband, and a little boy calls
them papa and mamma. Then comes the
temptor In the guise of an English solicitor
who brings the Information that the Earl !s
dead. He begs Jim to return to England and
claim his title, incidentally mentioning that
the Earl's wife is still In love with and
would marry him. Jim persists, but at last
consents to allow his son to go to England
to reclaim the title and to be educated in
English fashion. Mrs. Carston protests, but
when she learns that Jim Is determined that
the boy should go to England she disappears.
Then comes the sheriff of the county who has
killed an Indian and seeks protection from a
band of aborigines bent npon revenge. Jim
refuses to surrender the sheriff and preparations
are made for battle.
News then reaches Jim that the countess,
the Earl's wife. Ignorant of the uprising, and
assisted by but a single trooper, has left Che-
yenne for -the ranch. Jim makes a melo-
dramatic rush through the lines and rescues
the countess. Aid from the fort arrives and
Mrs. Carston kills herself in despair.
Mr. Faversham Is said to be particularly good
in his new role. Reports say that he Is ably
assisted by his company. The play la well
staged. It will be reviewed at length In next
week's Issue of The Billboard.

NEW MONTAUK THEATRE IN
BROOKLYN OPEN TO PUBLIC
Ex-Senator Reynolds' Playhouse Magnificent
George Edwardes' London Production, The Duchess of Dantzic, Serves to
Initiate Theatregoers at the East End of the Bridge to the Borough's
Beautiful Palace of Amusement.
Her engagement at the Bmlpre Theatre, New
lork In J. M. Barrle's new play, Peter Pan,
will follow that of John Drew In De I*ncey.
It didn't take Maude Fealy long to decide
upon taking the leading role In the new four-
act Martha Morton comedy. It Is reported that
the Denver actress Is doing the best work
of her career In the new piece.
The Truth Tellers Is based upon the novel
of John Strange Winter, and tells the story of
five children of the George Washington type.
Their truth telling brings trouble upon them-
selves and those aronnd them. Miss Fealy has
the role of the eldest child. Ernestine Morti-
mer. While critics praise her work, they are
rather dubious as to the strength of the new
play, and there Is not an overabundance of suc-
cess predicted for It. Little Toy, a boy of six.
who plays the role of George Mortimer, scored
a success next to Miss Fealy's honors.
A large audience greeted the opening per-
formance.

Last season these comedians offered a treat In
Me. Him and I; this season it Is Tom, Dick and
Harry, a little bit more 'foolish, they say, and
If possible, funnier. The success of the new
concoction Is evident from the Incessant tor-
rent of laughter which It brought forth from
the audiences at the American last week. Ve-
hicles for Wrothe, Bickel and Watson are never
written for any other effect than fun. This
fact was kept well In mind by Harry Williams
and Aaron Hoffman when they wrote the book
and lyrics. Egbert Van Alstyne put his best
efforts Into the music, and delivered unto the
comedians and their spectacular chorus some
songs -that are catchy and will endure. The
plot Is shadowy, dim and evanescent. An aud-
ience can't carry a plot In Its head while
these kings of comedy are on the stage. They
are magnetic— rather electric. (When two of
them get together there Is going to be a flash;
whea they all three get together there is a
conflagration.
Mr. Tunis F. Dean, who was busi-
ness manager of the Grand Opera House, Pitts-
burg for several seasons, and who afterward
acted In the same capacity at Luna Park
there, win shortly enter upon bis duties as
' business manager for Mrs. Leslie Carter when
she begins her season.

Adrea Mrs. Leslie Carter •
It is the same Adrea, the same Mrs. Carter
and the same company, practically, and we
might add that they were received with the
same degree of enthusiasm as last season.'
Though Adrea shows no signs of waning In
popularity. Its run is Indefinite. It will run
for only sixteen evenings, as Mrs. Carter Is to
appear In short revivals of Zaza and DuBarry.
The story of Adrea is too well-known to The
Billboard's readers to burden these columns
with its repetition, though Its worth would
warrant It. Mrs. Carter's work Is said to be as
forceful and convincing as ever. She Is given
splendid support by the players with which Mr.
Belasco has surrounded her. Two changes In the
cast is to be noted, though not particularly
noticeable in the performance. Chas. A Steven-
son succeeds Tyrone Power in the role of
Arklssus, and Chas. A. Millard has the role of
Kaeso. formerly played by Mr. Stevenson.
Mrs. Carter will shortly go en tour.
MRS. FISKE IN LEAH KLESCHNA
Supported by practically the same company
that appeared In Leah Kleschna last season,
Mrs Fiske opened her season Tuesday, Sept.
26. 'at the Manhattan Theatre. New York City,
In a revival of the McClellan success. In ad-
dition to the star. John Mason and others
scored personal successes. That the play has
lost none of its drawing powers is evidenced by
the fact that very large audiences witnessed the
production last week. The engagement in Loan
Kleschna Is limited, as Mrs. Fiske wiU appear
shortjy In a new piece.
HE new Montauk Theatre at Living-
ston street and Hanover place, Brook-
lyn N. V., opened Monday evening,
Sept. 25, with George Edwarde's pro-
duction of The Duchess of Dantalc.
The magnificent playhouse is owned by fcx-
Senator Wm. -H. Reynolds, and is the hand-
someBt theatre In Brooklyn. _■
The promise that the new Montauk would
represent the highest type of modern theatre
building has been fulfilled by Senator Reynolds.
That means a great deal. It means an ad-
vance upan a long line of hand*"".?. V* 6 ?™*-
sors, for this country leads the world to thea-
trical construction. Senator Beynolds _ de-
clared that he would make the house the finest
in the land. Experts think that he has kept
"one" IB Immediately Impressed at the very
entrance. The lobby, which combines both lobby
and foyer owing to its arrangement, is strik-
ing, because It differs from any other in the
metropolis. Extending as It does from the
corner of Livingston street, where the box-
offl^ is letted beneath a dome, ^it extends
along the entire width of the theatre, onHuj
over place. The wainscoting Is Ugh and of
white marble, with Irregular black streaks,
the doors are covered with Morocco leather,
while the frieze and celling are adorned with
Within the auditorium, artistic symmetry
and warmth of tone are admirably blended:
The width of the house gives it a spacious
aspect, while the depth makes it appear cosy
and brings even the last row of seats Into
proper relation with the stage. The P"««nJum
arch Is massive and with the boxes forms an
Impressive frame work for the Btage pictures
that will be presented.
The color scheme is red and goW-_ one
gold has been used unsparingly, but with good
taste, upon the proscenium arch and boxes,
while the walls are covered with ttlck red wat-
ered silk of expensive weave. The chairs are
upholstered In red, the hanging of the boxes
are red and the carpets are green. The effect
is that of richness and warmth.
Above- the proscenium are finely wrought
symbolic figoers in relief. No <»lotJ?g bas
been applied to these, and as a result Jhey
resemble Ivory carvings upon a large scale.
An opulence of relief work also characterizes
the treatment of the proscenium and boxes. _
Electrillers of artistic design are In har-
m6ny with the general scheme of decoration.
Indeed there is no discordant note discernible.
Even the exit drapery as formerly are cov-
ered by red plush on the inside so as not to
mar the effect upon the eye. ■
In the matter of arranging the Pitch of
the orchestra, balcony and gallery the archi-
tects have shown skill. From every seat to
the house a clear view of the stage can be
° As°a framework for dramatic doings the di-
mensions of the proscenium opening, which is
39 feet high and 38 feet wide, are considered
lust bright? The stage Itself Is sufficiently
large to accommodate elaborate productions,
and it is equipped with all the very latest fa-
cilities. Twenty fireproof uressing_ rooms are
arranged on the Livingston street side and are
finely furnished. Special attention has been
paid to the heating of the stage, so as to
obviate the discomfort to the audience of a
blast of cold air when the curtain rises. . 1
As regards safety, everything that experi-
ence and ingenuity could suggest has been
utilized. The building Is fire-proof and is
equipped with the newest lnvenOons_to safe-
guard the patrons. There are twenty-one ex-
its, alL.of which are wide. Upon the doors
of the emergency exits is an entirely new de-
vice which causes the doors to open auto-
matically the moment the slightest pressure Is
brought to bear upon them. The Montauk is
the first theatre in which this invention has
been installed. . _. . : __„
Another new Invention Is the system of reg-
ulating the sprinkler apparatus designed to
flood the stage in case of fire. This Is worked
by an electric button. Advanced methods are
also employed In the manipulation of the.
electric lights, which play such an important
part In up-to-date productions.
The auditorium will be heated by hot^ air
distributed by a new system. The air will be
forced up under the seats and the supply can
be regulated to a nicety, so that the desired
temperature can be obtained.
For the convenience of the patrons there are
an elegantly furnished retiring room for la-
dles, a commodious smoking room for men, with
lavatories. In each the furnishings represent
the latest mode. The offlces are also finely
furnished.
Kirby, Petit & Green of Manhattan are the
architects who designed the theatre, while the
decorations are by Arnold &. Locke.
Samuel H. Cohen is the manager of the
new Montauk. He needs no Introduction t to
The Billboards' readers, for his success In
directing the destiny of the Amphion, when
the leading dramatic attractions were played
there, is weU known.
Edward Train, who was so popular as' the
treasurer of the old Montauk Theatre, wUl
preside over the new house. Jay Nova, who
has long been a Brooklyn favorite, wffl be the
musical director.
Following The Duchess of DantxJc.sitsr come
all the leading attractions booked by Bahw &
Erlanger. The new theatre itself will 'fee an
attraction for quite a time, and Is eatanlated
to make people sit up and take notice.
BELASCO m NORFOLK
David Belasco. and the Independent forces with
which he Is allied, will' have a theatre In Nor-
folk. Va., next season, unless present nuns
miscarry. It Is understood that a number of
Norfolk capitalists, headed by Clarence A.
Woodward, will build the new playhouse and
lease It to Mr. Belasco. The plans provide for
the building of a $200,000 theatre. It will
seat 2,000, which will exceed the capacity of
any other house In Norfolk. The new bouse
will be in the uptown, district on Tasewell
street, near Granhy. and adjoining the Hotel
Lorta l Ji e. ' ._ ".'■__ - _ '■"_. ,_
It Is reported that work win begin Im-
mediately upon the new playhouse, so that
It may be ready for occupancy the first of next
season. ■

PUBLISHERS' NOTES
/
ON MAY 1, lOXKi, I stood on tbe fourth
floor of the Oneonta building. «i~
Clark st.. watching a sign painter
trace upon the door of suite 405 a
firm name which then held no special
significance for me — C. Al. Chapel & Co..
Music Publishers. It was but a few weeks after
this, however, that the name was brought
forcibly back to my memory by the fact that a
new luminary had appeared upon the horizon of
popular songs, under the euphoneous and mysti-
cal tlrle of Hiram Green. Good-Bye. It was
in that short-lived production, Kafoozelum. that
Hiram made bis debut to a discriminating public.
The critics of the daily press commented upon
Ills genuine merit, and Hiram galloped in the
first of a goodly string of entries. Since then
Hiram has been introduced all over" tbe country,
and has made friends innumerable. One thing
can .be said of Hiram which cannot' be said al>out
any other song ever published In the west,
namely: It made good in the east oefore mak-
ing the west sit op and take notice.
C. M. Chapel, the compo=er-subject of this
sketch., was born at the base of Pike's Peak,
in Pueblo, Col., In Centennial year, 1S76. His
childhood days were spent In the mountains upon
his father's ranch, and therein lies the secret
of his intimate knowledge of the west and
things western In general. Migrating to Man-
chester, la.. In his early teens, he spent several
years in 'that city, finally landing in Chicago in
1SW. It was at this time that he became
associated with M. Witmark & Sons, writing
many songs in collaboration with Gillespie, of
Absence Makes The Heart Grotv Ponder fame.
Though he wrote many creditable songs during
his term of contract with •Witmark. among them
being Tis a Love Song That I Sing Thee. You'll
Be Happy If I Go (Gillespie), Josie (Reming-
ton), and You Said Good Night. 'But Meant
Good Bye (Welnstein). he determined that the
song business was not commensurate with other
callings, and three years ago entered the em-
ploy of one of the largest mercantile establish-
ments in the west. During this period he gained
much knowledge, which Is always essential to a
successful career, but despite this fact a vague
spirit of unrest pervaded his being and be
longed to again enter the ranks of his natural
profession and do stunts worthy of his ability.
Success came to him, and today he has a busi-
ness that is most enviable, considering the fact
that he has been at the helm but a little over
four months.
"To embark in the music publishing business,
write a hit the first turn off the reel and ac-
cumulate a catalogue of good sellers, has been
my dream of empire for years," said he one
day last "week, after running over several of the
melodies he lias written for Joe Herbert's bur-
C. M. CHAPEL
lesque on The Music Master, recently launched
in Lew Field's Theatre in New York. *'I have
followed no set style of composition in my mu-
sic, nor have I tried to copy the old masters
in my work. I have simply followed the dic-
tates of my own conscience — be original or
don't write. In talks I have bad with many
of the prominent popular ! music composers of
today, some of them have tried to convince me
that It pays to grows reminiscent. I give no
credence to such assertions, and I think the
public will bear me out In the statement that
originality is by far the more lucrative and
praiseworthy of the two, methods."
Mr. Chapel has a catalogue which the classi-
fier would pronounce exceptionally good end
ivhleh any publishing bouse of four months*
standing might well covet. UnllkH many new
firms, the Chapel Co. has not suffered from
overproduction. But eight numbers have been
published to date, bearing the following titles:

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC PRESS
THIS FILIBUSTER is Tery far from
living op to the advance statement
that it is a musical version of The
Dictator, the diverting farce which
Richard Harding Davis wrote for Wil-
lie Collier.
But it Is a tuneful and amusing entertain-
ment, and the audience that filled the Stude-
baker Theatre last night {gave it unreserved
approval.
There are three colorful and pleasing scenes-—
the dock of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com-
pany in San Francisco, a public square in the
: mythical: hSonth American . - republic of; Con-
carne. ' and t the -courtyard t of : the v Hotel del
Coronado, opposite San Diego. CaL The last
two are < particularly;; beautifuL; and when they
; are filled, as ; they; are-filled most of the time,
with; pretty;; women brilliantly costumed, danc-
ing; languorously ;to. soft^muBie, they; lore the
imagination; dangerously.;
;;The;uero r ; of; the;, piece -is a; San Francisco
reporter^— not:a. real;; reporter, of course, for
real reporters are too modest and retiring to
be heroes of toe picturesque— but a stage re-
porter; ; foil or impudence and very noisy. ;;
.Afters falling^ in ;• various r disguises to stow
himself; away; on a -ship bound for: Concarne.on
a;; fiilibustering; expedition, he finally succeeds
in the -disguise ;; of ;; Irishwoman. ; ; Arrived
; nv Sbath; America,, he organizes the soldiers of
the republic Into ; a: ; union ;and commits them
to the eight-hour day, which ends at 4 p. m.
'Wbem ;he-; to ; about to be . shot ;the . clock
strikes 4, the firing squad refuses to work
overtime,;; and ; the reporter is saved and ; vic-
;torious.; ;; This -incident. ;;; though ; it was not
ally as it might - have been,
if laughter last night and
really made ; an {immense ;. hit-
a In the /third- and last : act {the characters, by
some ; process^ not {sufficiently ; explained to be
Intelligible, tarn up at;; Coronado, and the
action ; come id Impotent
conclusion.
{ItiS{ all;; very; funnyy if { one may Judge by
the {anerriment; It; created; --indeed, {-one lady
was heard to say that she liked it better than
any;; other musical - comedy she had seen.
;Bnt there Is more than fun in the entertain-
ments --The moon; shines, and a sentimental
senorita sings love songs about it; and a Jealous
American girl, disguised as a soldier, and her
white-ducked .naval lieutenant lover nearly re-
peat'- the; experience of Gratlano and; Nerlssa
with, the rings In The Merchant of Venice; and
there Is- much; singing; and dancing of pretty
gu-is In pretty dresses and silk stockings.
Charles E.: Evans,, once ; famous as Old Hobs.
; HoeyV partner; in ; A {Parlor Match, :1b the re-
: porter^/ and as ^sufficient Impudence and
noises if his talents as a funmaker are; not
especially remarkable.
When: ■ itv comes;: to; funmaWng, the medal
goes to- Frank Lakuv a low comedian,.; who Is a
sort of combination of Charley Blgelow and
: Bddie-Foy. ; - IAlor; has the part of a ; timorous
hero,; and:- all he has to do > to make the spec-
tators laugh Is towalk. across; the: stage. Miss
Helena Phillips, a well-fed bat attractive girl,
also contributes tc>: the amusement : of the au-
dience by being grotesque. She has the role
of the {"boatswain's baby," and her ; dresses
are marvels of belligerent colors. :
The chief delight of the performance Is pro-
vided by ; Miss Kate Condon, whose magnetic
personality and wonderfully fine contralto voice
combine : to work ; & powerful charm. Miss
"Condon does not appear In the first act. bnt
her songs in the other two. The Love of Our
Motherhood, with chorus; The Toreador, with
Mr. Evans, and Moonlight, a: solo, were all ad-
mirably simg with a richness of voice and a
perfection of method; "that captivated every-
body In thef house. Miss Isabel Hall, possess-
ing: a sweet; and strong soprano, had some good
songs and sang them well, particularly one In
the second act. called Dolce Far Niente. Frank
Turner.sas the naval Sonth American revolu-
tionist.* was excellent In his characterization,
which would have been notable In a straight
; farce.
The other personages were well enough rep-
resented, .and as the music; by William Lo-
ralne. was uniformly good. If nowhere particu-
larly remarkable, the chorus agile and : well-
trained, and the ; "book" sufficiently Inter-
esting and occasionally bright. The Filibuster
must be set down as a popular success.— Bar-
rett Eastman, In the Chicago Journal, Sept. SO.
Lew Fields* Burlesques, The Hturic Master
The Lew Fields Theatre Company scored an-
other success last: evening in its production of
the burlesque on The Music Master, following
a shortened version of: It Happened -In Nord-
land. Blanche Blng came In for most of the
honors in what was. new : in the evening, and
a close second was Lew Fields as Herr Bere-
wig. a splernlld caricature of David Warfleld in
The Music Master.
The burlesque of The Music Master, while
not as funny as the earlier part of; the show,
provided a crowded house with a great deal
of amusement. Lew Fields and Blanche Blng
worked hard, and > were amply repaid by gen-
erous; applause. Some of the most serious sit-
uations of The Music; Master were turned very
cleverly. - The new piece is by Joseph Her-
bert, who appeared in the role of the head of
the Standard Oil Trust.
Miss Grace Fields, a new addition to the
-company this year.: had a score of friends in
the audience who appreciated her clever work
quite ^bountifully.— N. Y. Evening Telegram.

Beerbonm. -Tree's Oliver Twist
^Oliver Twist revival has been the hit of the
London. : theatrical season and the ;: Beerbohm
Tree company will probably make a triumphal
tour of England with the drama. The part of
Oliver was taken by Miss Nellie Bowman, who
achieved; nearly as much: fame as Mr. Tree
to his characterization of Fagin. — Chicago
Chronicle. Sept. 24.
Mrs. Fiske Revives Leah Kleschna
For the next three weeks, at least,' a play
that rivets the attention, stirs the emotion
and makes the heart beat will be within the
reach of New York audiences. It Is C. M.
McLeBan's drama,; Leah Kleschna. It was
revived at the Manhattan Theatre last night by
Mrs. Fiske: and the same admirable company
that produced It last year.
It win be remembered that its story Is the
reformation of a woman burglar through the
influence of admiration and love. There is a
psychological phase to its argument — the theory
that good influence and kindness, not prisons
or punishment, are the only real corrective
influences for human obliquity.
As a drama of situation, of cnlminatlve force
and of intense human interest, Leah Kleschna
surpassed any other that was offered in New
York last year.: Even; in Its revival it makes
any of the plays of the present season seem
puny and InconsequentlaL
Mrs. Flake's company is varied but slightly
from its. original personneL The star still
plays the role of the thief with intellectual
alertness, nervous intensity and dramatic color.
The: character easily falls within the range of
the ; actress* best endeavor, and there is not a
detail escapes her. : : ;
John Mason repeated his quietly intense and
forceful performance as Sylvane; George Arliss
presented his vivid characterization of Baoul
Bertram.; the degenerate, and William B. Mack
reappeared as the faithful but weak Schram.
By odd coincidence, the four best plays of
last season are again running simultaneously
within a few blocks of each other on Broad-
way. .Besides Leah Kleschna, they are The
Music ^Master, Adrea and You Never Can
TeU. — New York World, Sept. 26.
Leslie Carter in Adrea
Before an enthusiastic crowd, Mrs. Leslie
Carter in Adrea- began a brief season in the
Belasco Theatre last night. The opening was
eminently auspicious, and that Adrea had lost
none of its popularity was shown by the
repeated curtain calls after every act.
Mrs. Carter gave one of her best perform-
ances. She was in fine voice and ran the emo-
tional gamut with a soreness and intensity
that brought acclaim. The company was prac-
tically ; the same as that which appeared in
the play last winter. The only important
changes were that Charles A. MUlward played
Kaeso, the character created by Charles A.
Stevenson, and Mr. Stevenson took Tyrone Pow-
er's old role of Arkissus. Cora Adams- ap-
peared as Julia Doma. Adrea's sister, inter-
preted last season by Edith Crane. The per-
formance in every way was brilliant, and in-
dicated a prosperous engagement;
Since Mr. Belasco's announcement that Mrs.
Leslie Carter; would give her farewell perform-
ance of Adrea ; on Oct.. 7, there has been an
extraordinary demand for seats. On Oct. 9 the
actress win revive Zaza for a week, and then
will come fourteen appearances In Du Barry.
At the dose of; her home season Mrs. Carter
will start on ar tonr of the large cities, ap-
pearing : in Adrea and other important plays
in her repertoire.— New "York Press, Sept. 21.

where. Managers who had the show last sea-

per cent, better- this year. Over ninety per
cent, of them are asking for return dates.

"1 have tried to write a play with a genuine,
flesh and Mood minister of the gospel as its
hero. I have tried to create a new dramatic
type — a clergyman typical of the thousands of
hard-working. God-fearing pastors, who labor
quietly, but effectively in a thousand obscure
fields in the United States.
This Is the Rev. John Snyder's estimate of his
play. As Ye Sow. Wm. A. Brady and Jos.
R. Grlsmer, who staged it, say It wUl "act."
They are putting It on elalborately.
"Playwrights have always caricatured the
cloth," said Mr. Snyder. "Sometimes, it must
be confessed, these caricatures have been funny.
I believe the real clergyman can be translated
from his pulpit to the stage and made an In-
spiration."
Mr. Snyder is pastor of a Uttle Unitarian
church In Wellesley mils, Mass. He is sixty-
tliree years of age and a living refutation of the
Osier extermination theory. From head to foot

on the stage and play the hero he has con-
ceived In As Ye Sow without changing a gar-
ment. . After the play was put on Mr. Snyder
returned to his flock.
"Sol Smith RusseU gave me my first sugges-
tion for writing the play," said Mr. Snyder.
"We were at dinner together at my house,
which was then In St. Louis. We were talk-
ing -Aout the stage and I asked him why It
was clergymen were always caricatured on the
«?*It may be because of the ancient feud
between the church and the stage,' repUed Mr.
Russel. "But I believe the chief reason is that
no playwright has ever created a type of min-
ister that: wasn't a caricature.'
"I said: *Mr. RusseU, you woul make a
splendid clergyman of the type I mean. Why
don't you have someone write the part for you?
" -I wish I had the play,' said Mr. BusseU,
eagerly. Then he added, with a langh: Why
don't yon write It for me? Yon know what I
"I began work on As Ye Sow within a week.
Just after I had finished the first act BusseU
was taken with his last illness. He never
returned to the stage. Robert Melvule Baker,
author of Foxy Grandpa and several other pier*,
was a member of tny congregation at that
time. I showed him what had been done and
he Uked It. It was several years after before
I finished the piece, and then I showed It to
Wm. A. Brady, who Immediately, accepted It for
production." ■ " . ...
The title As Ye Sow is taken from this
verse of the Bible: "God Is not mocked, for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall .he also
reap." The scene Is laid at Cape Cod, and
many of the characters are fishermen.
Mr Snyder is the author of several children's
stories. He has also written a sociological skit,
entitled The Wind Trust. Before he entered
the mlnlBtry he was newspaper man. writing
semi-editorial articles for the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.

On the front page of this issue of The
Billboard appears an exceUent likeness of Kd-
ward Shayne, of whom It may truthfully be
said that be conducts one of the largest theat-
rical exchanges to the country.
Mr. Shayne's experience 1b as varied aa it
is interesting. WhUe his theatrical career
dates back several years, bis entree into the
managerial field covers a period of less than
five years. Starting as a call boy to the
opera house of his native town— Quincy, HI. —
nearly twenty-five years ago, Mr. Shayne grad-
naUy worked bis way up .into the profession,
untU: now, after appearing behind the foot-
Ugbts for twenty years, he has found a branch
of the amusement business which has not only
given him opportunity to retire from active
stage work, but : has placed him in the front
rank of theatrical promoters. Mr. Shayne
will be remembered as one of our best Ught
comedians, when, some fifteen years ago. he
starred in many of the then leading farce
comedies, such; as Skipped by; The Light of
The Moon, The Kindergarten, etc. Later he
appeared in vandevUIe and for ten years toured
the leading houses.
Mr. Shayne's first visit to the west was an
uphill fight. There was no Coney Island. Brigh-
ton Beach or Atlantic City to which the pnb-
Uc could go for outings, etc This appeared
to him strongly. He saw the future of the
summer parks in the west, and he began to
promote this kind of amusement. He found
a number of parks In operation, but, with the
exception of the larger parks of Chicago and
St. Louis, he ' found that the amnsexaents of
these resorts were limited to a band concert
or occasionally a sensational outdoor attrac-
tion, while a few were offering mediocre vau-
deville programs. By personal Interviews with
the heads of the different traction companies,
Mr. Shayne was able to convince them that
there wsb a good opening for hlgh-dass acts.
How wen he succeeded Is evidenced by the
fact that Mr. Shayne is now furnishing the
vaudeville attractions for over twenty parks,
and, where formerly there was not snfHcient
Inducement for the better class of acts to make
long Jumps westward without sufficient book-
ings, he is now contracting to play, the high-
est class vaudeville acts a season covering from
twelve to sixteen weeks.
The success of Mr. Shayne can be traced to
his watchfulness and to bis keen insight into
theatrical matters. His continued experience
on the stage, and more especially in vande-
vUIe, has revealed to him the desires of the
manager and the wants of the performer. Mr.
Shayne's new offices at 79 Clark street are a
credit to Chicago. His theatrical exchange kt
filling a long-felt want.
Rehearsals of the Toast of The Town, to

E. S. Willard prides himself on the
beauty and interest of the books that constitute
his valuable library. He likes nothing better
than showing his choice editions t«» apprecia-
tive friends and it is a point with him that
he knows every book in his possession. Re-
cently he was going over his books with a
fellow bibliophile when it occurred to him to
hunt up a passage in Colly Cibber. "I have
a particularly fine edition that was presented
to me by Percy Winter. You shall see it."
He made a long and ineffectual search for the
books and felt exceedingly piqued that he was
unable to locate them. The hunt was con-
tinned to weariness and was finally given up.

mishaps to the books. Two days later he
wrote to his friend: "I remember now about
that Colly Cibber. Percy Winter did not give
me a copy — I gave -him . one."

Some years ago while traveling on
a western railroad Mabel Hite. who is star-
ring this season in Frank L. Perlev's produc-
tion of The Girl and The Bandit, thawed out
the reserve of an army officer whose lack of
congeniality had been generally noted during
the long journey.
Five different yonng -women had tried to en-
gage the soldier man In conversation, but none
bad received anything beyond a monosyllable
reply to her most cordial remark. Finally. Mi«s
Hit wagered a pair of gloves that she" would
Induce their fellow . traveler to talk without
having spoken a word herself.
■■ The wager was agreed upon, and on the
following morning Miss Hite. who had risen
before anyone else in the Pullman, greeted
the military man when he rose with a shrill
piping whistle of a girl doing her best tJ
imitate the reveille. The attempt was fem-
inlne.y ludicrous. The officer smiled, then
grinned^ then laughed, and finally acknowledged
the call with a cordial "Good morning."
Miss Hite had won her bet.

■— ^ VER since August Bank Holi-
1 ■ day the business at the London play-
I <% houses and music halls has been lm-
M 1 9 proving. Last week full houses
were the rule la all parts of the Metropolis.
\s my letter of last Saturday waB flying along
to Queenstown, to catch the American mall,
Mr Seymour Hicks was celebrating the an-
niversary of The Catch of The Season at the
Vaudeville, and just to show that a year had
not worn out the welcome of the piece, London
playgoers turned out In numbers that over-
flowed the limited capacity of the Vaudeville,
^veral new numbers were introduced, and,
judging from the reception accorded. The Catch
of The Season has signed a new lease of
popularity and life on the Strand.
NO PASSION PLAY FOR LONDON
London is not to see the Passion
Play after all. Mr. Seymour Hicks and Mr.
Charles Frohman had made the most elaborate
preparations and spent hundreds of pounds
upon preliminaries. Two well-known play-pro-
ducers had arranged most of the eighteen tab-
leaux, the management had had the scene
models made, and had even ordered most of
the dresses and engaged many of the Italian
actors. All save the details then had been
arranged for the Passion Play's production at
the Aldwych Theatre next Lent, and, as after
consultation with many leading divines It was
considered that the Church would encourage
the project, the smaller difficulties were being
rapidly overcome, the news came that the
leading dignitary considered that the subject
of Christ's life was not a proper one for rep-
resentation on the stage, even though the play
consisted of dumb show. Not wishing to cause
offense Mr. Hicks reconsidered his scheme, and
when he and his company left for Douglas on
Saturday, he bad abandoned the Idea alto-
gether.
A FANTASTIC FORECAST
The sub-title of the coming Palace
Review, A Fantastic Forecast gives away to
some extent, the idea that Mr. Sims will fol-
low In this, his first Incursion Into Variety-
Land. He will show what he imagines London
and London life will be five years hence. By
the way, the Palace — the house where most
of the American Invaders first appear— has not
done so poorly this last year. The directors
have decided that the profits will allow
dividend of 12 per cent, for the year, and the
carrying forward of 13,000 odd pounds.
REPORT OF TEE STAGE SOCIETY
On Sunday the Stage Society pub-
lished their sixth annual report, showing a
present membership of 1,200; a balance in the
bank of 400 merry jingling poundlets; also six
notable plays were successfully produced dur-
ing the past year, and 148 plays (of which
131 were by English writers and IS were
translations of foreign plays) were submitted
to the Council during the past season. All of
these plays were read and considered.
ILLUSTRATED SONG INNOVATION
The illustrated "song-scene" is a de-
lightful and Interesting Interlude at the Coli-
seum. The chorus at the sides sings Long-
fellow's Wreck of The Hesperus as verses and
illustrations are thrown on to the curtain. The
house is in absolute darkness, and as the
grim tragedy is unfolded, the music, the pic-
tures, the insistent wail of the singers pro-
duce a thrullng effect.
I REDE YE TENT IT
We are told that the next form of
"American invasion" will take the "tented
field" for its sphere of operations, that is to
say, the firm concerned will present spectacles
of Drury Lane dimensions in gigantic tents.
The canvas-backed drama will thus be con-
veyed hither and thither as occasion serves.
PASSING OF THE CHILD PERFORMER
The days of the "child performer"
seem to be numbered. Not only the public
taste for this class of "sympathy" act is de-
clining, in England, but many magistrates are
now taking the option given thorn by the
"Child Labor Act" of refusing licenses per-
mitting children under sixteen to perform.
TWO AMERICAN COMEDIANS
Of the twenty-four turns which ap-
peared at the Tlvoll Anniversary on Friday
evening, America was well represented as a
land of good comedians by Mike Wbalen and
Radford and Valentine.
PRESS SCORES CLARICE
The press has not accepted Mr. "Wil-
liam Gillette's Clarice with the same show
of npproval as was shown by the large au-
dience present at the first performance at the
Duke of York's on Wednesday. The principal
complaint was the exaggerated realism. There
Is no doubt that. In comparison to English
plays, many of this class of American plays
exaggerate realism In some instances to the
border of boredom. The device of several
minutes silence at the opening and the close
of the acts, which has been used with such
excellent effect In such pieces as Shore Acres,
etc., has doubtless bad its run, and dramatists
must invent new devices if they would not bore
their audiences. Of the acting of Mr. Gil-
lette's excellent company, of the mounting of
the piece, or of the story, there is no word
other than of praise. But that the pauses
in the action of Clarice are more strongly under-
lined than the action, there is no doubt. This
makes it like telling a story merely with as-
terisks, or making the punctuation marks more
important than the words they sever.
The hit of- the evening was undoubtedly
scored by Miss Lucille la Verne as the negro
servant, Judith Clancy. But then, the first
performances become ever more difficult -to
judge. The beginning does not foreshadow the
end nearly as much as formerly. And when
all is said, it is the run of a London produc-
tion that counts. Perhaps it is just a little
too American for Londoners to swallow all at
once, and it may grow on them — like olives^ — -
which also come from abroad.
JOHN BULL'S OTHER ISLAND
The Court reopened on Monday with
a third revival of Bernard Shaw's John Bull's
Other Island. The attendance during the
week has shown that Mr. Shaw's whimsical
and witty piece has far from exhausted Its
popularity. A request sent to the manager
of Dublin's leading theatre by "several play-
goers" that this piece be produced in Ire-
land, which concludes. "We are sure that it
would be well received," reminds me of the
Orangeman who asked the Scotchman to play
The Wearing of The Green on his pipes. Sandy
asked. "For why?" The other replied. "I jus'
want to see if I can stand it!" So Sandy
commenced, but had not gone far when the
Orange (Irish)man rushed at him. When Sandy
had administered the good thrashing the other
deserved he said, as he gathered up his pipes.
"I ded'ne think he cud stand It." Personally,
If I visited a performance of John Bull's Other
Island on that other Ireland. I would take
the precaution of wearing a suit of armor.
OLGA NETHERSOLE SAILS
Miss Olga Nethersole sails for
America on or about the 13th of next month
to produce, at Washington, ten days later. Mr.
W. L. Courtney's adaption of Paul Hervleu's
powerful drama Le Dedale. For the Interpreta-
tion of the piece she has engaged a company
which includes Mr. Hamilton Revelle, Mr.
Hubert Carter. Mr. William Farren. jr.. Miss
Louise Moodle, Miss Cicely Richards, and Miss
Dorothy Grimston. In order to assist her with
final rehearsals, which will take place in
Washington. Mr. Courtney has also promised
to cross the Atlantic.
THE SHUBERTS' PLANS
Arrangements of a particularly in-
teresting character have jnst been completed
by the Shubert Brothers for the reopening of
the Waldorf Theatre in about three week's
time. The piece chosen ror the occasion Is
a translation of that well-known German play,
Zapfenstreicb, by Franz Adam Beyerleln. which
has obtained marked popularity alike in the
country of its origin and in France. Austria
and America.
SPORTING ELEMENT GROWING
In the modern music hall pro-
gramme the sporting element Is a growing
feature. Wrestling contests have held their
own for several seasons past: and despite many
attempts at popularizing a rival attraction, it
is now said that football matches are to be
Introduced on the Variety stage during the
coming winter. An ambitions syndicate pro-
poses to inaugurate the attraction at Olympia.
WILL RETURN TO CAST
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bouchier will
return to their original parts In The Walls of
Jericho next Saturday, when the 342d perform-
ance of this sturdy piece will take place.
CYRIL MAUDE'S PLANS
Mr. Cyril Maude is to have a London
plnyhouse of his very own early In the new
year. If we are not much mistaken, it will
be the 25-yearrold Avenue, rechristened The
Playhouse.
PRODIGAL SON A WINNER
The Prodigal Son has successfully
stood the box-office test, and is now on it's
way to a run which will extend "Panto" sea-
son.
THE IBSEN OF TO-DAY
A traveler well versed in theatrical
affairs has had an Interesting "interview" with
Ibsen. We are told that to-day "he is a
watery-eyed, tremulous old man, his nervous
force gone, and his physical strength vanish-
ing." Two physicians - are with him day and
night, and he has even ceased to read, al-
though an attendant reads to him sometimes
when the great author can concentrate his
mind sufiiciently to enjoy it. The writer was
accompanied by an lmpressario who desired
Ibsen to undertake a lecture tour. The impos-
sibility of the project dawned upon them as
they saw the dramatist. They found him
seated In a large chair in his library, with
his doctors in attendance, although there seemed
to be no necessity for their presence beyond
that relating to the jealous care which he re-
ceives.
"It required but a glance at the venerable
figure," writes his visitor, "to be assured that
his work was done. His voice is strong de-
spite his general weakness, and his face, not-
withstanding the marks of his great age, was
still wonderful from the: Intellectual force that
even in its decay fills it with a stronge power.
The library In which the interview took place
is a 'high, dark, old-fashioned room on the
first floor, with newspapers strewn aliout —
suggesting the Interest with which the author
regarded the political troubles of Sweden and
Norway, and with a wide range of literature
on the shelves which conspicuously showed the
works of Kant and Shopenhauer. Ibsen dis-
cussed the political situation of his country
and expressed the hope that Norway might
become a republic."
AH ADVOCATE OF ORIGINALITY IN
PRODUCTION
Mr. Oswald Stoll, in an Interview
this week, says that If theatrical managers
would discard the policy of imitating one an-
other when one has happened on a success,
and, by more specialization among them-
selves keep alive every - form of emotional,
sensational and classic pieces, both musical and
otherwise, there would not: be so much of any
particular form as to seriously jeopardize the
existence of any one of the other forms. A
market -for the supply of good material -would
be constantly kept alive, and a large enough
public for each form of such entertainment
would be forthcoming to maintain a: sufficiency
of success. Mr. Stoll added that aU he had
said was to be considered together with the
very -important: ■ fact that the conditions of
trade affect all forms of entertainment alike,
and the times the theatres were passing
through now -were certainly not thevHbest for
variety theatres either, though he admitted
that -the average^ success with -them f had been
greater -during : the time of stress than it had
Review; A Fantastic Forecast^ gives away to
apparently been in the theatres proper.
AN ANGEL UNAWARES
An Angel Unawares was the first
new production of the week. Pregnant as the
title is of suggestions of story and plot, there
is little of either in Mr. R. V. Hareourfs
piece. • - Still : It .served weU as a vehicle for
the demonstration of several clever perform
er's talents. Mr. Harcourt has provided Miss
Fanny Brougb with an excellent part, which
she played for every atonv it was worth. Jas.
Carew did not have very much to do— bnt did
it exceUently, : and; -Miss :■ June Van Buskirk did
splendidly in the part of a girl from Boston.
It is the work of a clever man, who has the
pen: of a ready: writer, and is endowed ; with
quick wit. He has. however, no sense of con-
struction, finds it difficult apparently to eluci-
date, character, and has not sufficient self-
control to tell a story lucidly. But An Angel
Unawares has many bright and amusing pass-
ages, which, though they do not by them-
selves make a play, can undoubtedly put an
audience ; into a good humor. ;
ELIZABETHIAN DRAMA NOT POPULAR
The Mermaids Have gone .under;
from a want of public support. Proving that
Londoners, at least, have little sympathy with
Ellzabethian Drama. The season closed after
one week only, and thereby drove one more
nail in the coffin of "the Good Old Times"
theory. The Queen's Street will not remain
empty long, however, for HerrenKAndersen &
Behrcnd will shortly make a welcome re-
appearance with their German company.
CHARLES FROHMAN'S NEW THEATRE
The new playhouse in which Mr.
Charles Frohman and Mr. Seymour Hicks are
interested will be erected on Shaftsbury avenue,
on the site adjoining the existing Lyric and
Apollo.' A second -theatre will probably : be
added later. The theatre will be called the
Piccadilly, a title which, though not strictly
justifiable, gives a good idea of its location.

BY WALTER K. HILL.
RESPECTS LXX2
TBtH death of Jacob Litt, which
occurred Wednesday afternoon, Sept.
IS, In Dr. 6. F. M. Bond's Sanlta-
riam. In Yonkers, removed one of
the beat known and most Influential theatrical
managers In America. Oat of respect to bis
memsry there was no performance of The
Pearl and The Pumpkin at the Broadway
Sbeatre. evening- of Friday, 29, funeral /serv-
ice having: been privately held in thte city
on that afternoon.
COSTUME IS HAPPILY CAST
The crowds which flock to the Lib-
erty Theatre, attracted by the Klaw & Erlanger
production of the Sogers Brothers In Ireland,
are singling ant Oortnne for the bestowal of
appreciative applause. The Rogers Brothers
are fortunate In having the services of this
clever young woman, for she keeps the en-
tertainment going at high speed during the
time they are not noon the stage, and when
titer all three are In evidence at the same
time she nukes the Rogers Brothers work with
a vim te sustain: their end of the fun.
There la much to entertain In the current
production, and the Rogers Brothers are seen
at their Best. The scenic equipment' is lav-
ish, the company numerous and exceedingly
clever, and the costumes are beautiful in : the
extreme. There Is more of a plot than has
been usual with the Brothers Brothers' piece,
and there fat a sustained interest in the out-
come of events. Gus and Max Rogers have
some clever new material, and they are as-
sisted by Corrlnne, as has been said, with an
artlstle success resulting.
Bessie "De Vole shows her prettiest dance
steps, Joste Intropidl makes a hit as Ahastatia
O'Hoolihan. and the chorus of men and women
is a destlnctlve feature of the production.
These supernumeraries are .: a lively lot, aid
aB can dance and dance well- Their ensemble
numbers are encored with vigor, and their
work: stands out as a salient element of benefit
to the entertainment.
There are several song hits, notlcably The
First; Time We Bode- on The Cars, in which
Is Introduced a novel train effect, the girls
climbing: into trunks which suddenly are trans-
formed tnto diminutive railroad cars, and roll
«ff the stage with the occupants singing the
chorus of the song. The Irish Girl I Love,
sung by Corinne and Maurice Darcy, Is also a
pretty /hit.

and Lynne, Ephe Thomson's elephants, and Del-
torelll and Gllssandro.
MABGABET ANGLIN'S EMOTIONAL HOUB
In the presentation of Zira, at the
Princess Theatre, Margaret Anglln displays
emotional powers of electrifying and intensely
dramatic quality. For nearly an hour, through
the entire third act, the lines and action are
hers; and,- yet, so great Is her talent, that
one forgets that the scenes are little more
than a monologue. In that honr she discloses
the deepest agony of a woman's emotion;, she
give his life Into the keeping of Mr. Mason,
the automoblllst. Their casualty record for
the trip was one dog and two chickens, and
several bottles of Gulness's stout. They struck
the dog between Meridan and Hartford, a pre-
viously undiscovered vital spot in a canine's
organism.
T.TT.T.TATf RUSSELL OPENS AT PBOCTOB'S
Monday afternoon, Oct. 2, and will
sing twice a day, including Sundays, for sev-
eral weeks to come. The Twenty-third Street
house has been renovated and put in a con-
dition of special preparation for the event.
General Manager J. Austin Fynes, of the
Proctor Enterprises, is authority for this
statement concerning Miss Russell's engage-
ment with Manager Proctor: "We now present
the highest class vaudeville entertainment ever
offered for the /delectation of New Yorkers.
Miss Russell will appear at every performance
In the Twenty-third Street Theatre, which
means twice a day Including Sundays. She
will sing three new songs which have been
written for her use by /famous composers and
lyricists, and will delight the/ hearts of the
women in her audiences - with three elaborate
gowns at each performance / and ; the ' world-
famed /Jewels, flighty-two. gowns : of the mo-
diste's art have been built by Worth, Paqnin
and Mrs. Osborn for /this ; engagement. : After
playing for; an extended period at the Twenty-
third Street Theatre, Miss Russell will make
a tour of /the other Proctor houses, Including
Fifty-eighth Street, Harlem, / Newark; Albany:
and Troy. At the end of this tour it is prob-
able : that ;Mr-v Proctor /will organize, with ' Miss
Russel at Its : head, the: greatest road com-
pany /of: vaudeville a tars / ever . gathered to-
gether; The entire /Russell engagement is for
thirty-three weeks, and : the compensation for
appearing: twice a day, seven days/ a week,
is to be/ one hundred thousand dollars, or three
thousand dollars a week. This is by long odds
the/ greatest : salary, ever paid to a single.: per-
former,/ or^even/to an. : act including a num-
ber/of performers, in ^tudeville." /
// / . A T>Trwa-giravyr.-w -p-pffATyvt
Mile. Ani Hill, wife of Harry Hill,
the clever . road /manager, begins her vaude-
ville bookings this week at/ the Gotham Thea-
tre.^ Brooklyn, where she will , be seen in/ her
Impersonations a la Vesta Tilley, and the late
Bessie Bonehni. Miss Hill has a tout of the
Keith Circuit: booked / to / follow her time at
the Percy Williams houses. From a trapeze
artist to a singing character Impersonator is a
far cry; but Miss Hill has made the transi-
tion in a remarkably short time, and has es-
tablished herself . : by : her : art, as /worthy of
the place she has taken among vaudeville head-
liners. /
CHABLTE STEWART CHANGES
Charles H. Stewart has severed his
connection with the firm of Bellowes & Greg-
pry, and has associated himself with Darcy &
Wblford, the play-agents. Mr. Stewart re-
tains his affiliations with Chas. A. Taylor's
Enterprises, of which he Is the general man-
ager.

renown in vaudeville, has been given a part

GEO. STARB RETURNS

James A. Bailey, arrived In New York from
London, Sept. 25, and departed the same even-
ing for California, to meet Mr. Bailey; a

Angeles In fifteen days.
PBOCTOB'S TWENTY-THIRD STBEET
Lillian Russell makes her vaudeville
plunge at Proctor'B Twenty-third Street, Oct.
2-7, where she will remain Indefinitely as the
feature of a series of strong bills which be-
gin with Josephine Cohan & Co., Fred Niblo,
The Crane Bros., Macart's Dog & .Monkey Cir-
cus, the Vernon Troupe. Delmore and Lee, Bell-
man and Moore, and Kennedy and Qua trelle.
BILLY CLIFFORD IN V AUDEVIL LE
Billy S. Clifford, by special ar-
rangement, and for one week only, doffs stellar
honors as The Jolly Baron, and dons the cap
of vaudeville as the feature of the bUl at
takes and the misfortunes of a wretched wom-
an's lifetime, and brings into the glare of a
focused light of dicovery the anguish of a
woman's deceit, confessed, and, at last, un-
hidden.
Unless one had Been every actress act every
part she had ever played it would be useless
to write that no other woman could enact
these scenes with -a -deeper feeling; but it is
certain that Miss Anglln rises to a mastery
of the situation with an artistic conception
which fairly stuns the observer and makes one,
for the hour, feel that they are in the pres-
ence of an unspeakable sorrow; that they are
witnessing the actual portrayal of one of the
many tragedies In life which we know exist,
but with which we, happily, are seldom brought
into close touch.
It is not for me to say that such scenes
might better be left unacted; for Zira is a
great play, during Miss Anglln's emotional
honr. and the multitude clamors to have Its
heart-strings knotted and its emotions stirred
to extreme depths. But it is the mission of
the theatre to make the auditor feel, at the
end of the play, that ten days of hard labor
have been consummated in an / hour; to go
home with the emotions seething, the nerves
unstrung, and a mighty weight pressing down
upon: .them? Miss Anglin's hour is like an
evening of Belasco's melodramas; it's a hard-
working proposition for everybody. But it is
an evening of art. and real art, too. If there
are in /this world many oreatures with a heart
of stone : such as Beverly Sitgreaves, to
strengthen the contrast, makes of Ruth Wild-
ing, -it would seem a great blessing that they
are seldom pictured upon the stage. For the
word : "woman" comprehends aU that Is ad-
mirable in humankind. Miss Sitgreaves most
admirably holds up the mirror of art in her
performance, for she makes the character a
most utterly heartless and thoroughly hated
creature; the only sort of a woman who would
press down the relentless yoke of unforglve-
ness upon the shoulders of one who had,
selfishly, designingly, and. yet, in human
weakness, wronged her.
Frank Worthing gives a fine performance of
the clergyman, and scores again In his long
record of artistic achievements. Jameson Lee
Finney stands next to him. in the order of
merit, and skillfully bandies a role which,
with different treatment, would be devoid of
sympathy and might be distasteful in Itself.
Mrs. Thomas Whiffen brings an admirable
shading to bear upon the character of Lady
Constance, and there are others In the sup
port who justify their position in the com-
pany. .
Finally, let It be written, that whatever
Miss Anglln may have ncbieved in her career
upon the stage, or whatever honor may still
fall to her. she may well look upon her triumph
In Zira as an artistic accomplishment which
she may ever view with just pride: a piece of
acting marvelous in its Intensity and sur-
passingly artistic in its display.

PINK TEA AT THE HTPPODBOME
Phoebe, the pig, and Dick, the goose,
entertained their human and animal friends
on the Hippodrome stage after the matinee
Wednesday. The occasion was in honor of
Miska, a Russian sheephound, who acts the
lion of the Hippodrome Show. He was six
years old that day. He is so formidably humvly
that he is without friends or admirers, and
the birthday would have passed unhonored and
unnnotlced had not Clyde W. Powers, who
owns Phoebe and Dick, arranged a function.
The Hippodrome caterer spread a table en
the broad stage when the curtain descended on
The Raiders, and the pig and the geese were
installed at one end. Miska was placed on a
decorated pedestal at the other end, and a
Hippodrome baby elephant, 'and one of Albert
Carre's Shetland ' Ponies were other invited
guests. They browsed on animal tidbits, while
the human "freaks" of the show discussed
an elaborate menu. : The : dog-faced boy, the
bogie man, the skeleton; the fat lady, the
electric lady, the snake charmer, the tattooed
man, the Circassian lady and the wild ' man of
Borneo, were aU there.
Powers made a speech In which he told of
Miska once having saved Dick from the clutches
of a sneak thief, and Dick quacked ' long and
loud, as if he appreciated the narrow escape
and was grateful. The "only trained goose
in the world," he said, was thirteen years old;
had marched in "three Presidential inaugural
parades; had swam in rivers In every state in
the Union, and would be taken to Europe In
1906. It was bis consuming desire, the ani-
mal man said, to have the' goose paddle in
the Dead Sea and in the River Jordan.
Queen, Margaret Powell's Arabian horse, who
is suffering from an Incurable disease and
must be killed in a few days, was led to the
scene of the festivities for a few minutes.
Miss Powell said she was sure It would cheer
her pet's declining days.

li
BY WARREN A. PATRICK
GEO. ADE was one of the
many severe critics of Glen Mac-
Donougb's Bird Center last season.
The other day when Mr. MacDon-
ongh heard that Mr. Ade's new play had been
banished from New York to the "road." he
wired thus: "Dear George: When does The
Bad Samaritan play Bird Center?" .
GEOBGE TYEirBTTBH LIKES CHICAGO
George W. Lederer, the new man-
ager of the Colonial Theatre, has announced
that he has come here to take up his resi-
dence permanently.
"I am here to stay, and they can not drive
me out," declares Mr. Lederer. "Chicago is
my old stamping-ground, and I wish to heaven
I had never left It. I made barrels of money
here before New York ever heard of me. I
never liked New York or its people, and It
was due te an Incident that occurred In Chi-
cago that eaused me to take up New York
management. Bnt that Is another story.
"New Tork Is a good town to keep away
from, and I am out of it for good, except to
send my shows there, the same as I would to
any provincial town. Chicago and London in
the future for mine.
"New York is a jay show town, the suc-
cess of a piece produced there depending
largely upon the digestive conditions of the
audience. Nine-tenths of them fill up on
heavy French dinners, and come to the thea-
tre in a lethargic condition. I have often
stigmatised a first night New York audience
as a death watch, each person being a self-
appointed critic and fearing to applaud or to
see any good in anything, because he was
afraid it might not be good form.
"In London, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
and, in fact, almoat everywhere with the ex-
ception of New York, the theatregoing public
1b loyal to Its favorites, though critical. In
New York they are hypercritical and disloyal.
My trouble In New York was the same as
the rest of them. They all live beyond their
Income, and the conditions are such as to
make It almost unavoidable.
"Now, as te the New Colonial Theatre, it
will be conducted as a high-class production
and comblnatloa theatre. I have got one mil-
lion dollars: back of me. It has been dem-
onstrated beyond peradventure that Chicago is a
theatrical producing center, and the biggest
musical successes that New York has seen
within the last five years came from Chicago.
Last season I demonstrated that New York
was not necessary as a producing center. I
have a theatre in Philadelphia/ named the
Casino where I made several big productions, all
of which made money after leaving Philadel-
phia, thereby proving conclusively that the
old theory that a New York reputation is nec-
essary to make money with a play on the
road is a fallacy."
Mr. Lederer has established a reputation for
keeping faith with the public In the matter
of theatrical entertainment of the lighter sort.
In announcing that It Is next to Impossible to
receive fair treatment In New York and de-
claring his intention to make the Colonial In
Chicago his base of operations in Chicago, Mr.
Lederer has shocked the eastern contingent of
managers, bnt In all probability he will suc-
ceed In his latest enterprise. Many changes
have been made in the Colonial (known last
season as Hyde & Behman's), and that Fay
Templeton' wUl appear In George M. Cohan's
latest efforts. Forty-five Minutes From Broad-
way, may be regnrded as an assurance that
the quality of attractions booked will be worthy
of the attention of the public. Mr. Lederer
has had ample experience as n producing man-
ager, and if the theatregoers of Chicago re-
spond It is certain that novelty will not be
lacking under the new management.
RISE OF A CHICAGO GIBL
Miss Frances Cossar, who appears
with Rose Melville in Sis Hopkins, is a
Chicago girl who left Chicago Musical College
a year ago with high honors, and at once
took a place as leading Juvenile comedienne
with Miss Melville, and made such a suc-
cess that Manager Sterling re-engaged her for
this season. Ulss Cossar Is called upou to
sing in the performance of her part, and her
mraza-soprano voice is heard to good advan-
tage. Several box parties of her northslde
friends welcomed her to her home city dur-
ing the past week.
TOBY CLAUDE SUCCEEDS KATIE BABBY
a. change has been made in the cast
« Fantana, current at the Garrick. Miss Toby
Claude has assumed the part of Jessie, which
»p to a few weeks ago was played by Miss
Katie Barry, and later by Miss Georgia Bry-
Chlcago Office,
Suite 61,
Grand Opera
House Bldg.,
87 S. Clark St.
ton. Miss Claude Is the young woman who
followed Miss Barry in the part of Fi-Fl in
The Chinese Honeymoon, and scored a success
in the part. Last season Miss Claude was
in vaudeville, but the Messrs. Shubert per-
suaded her to cancel her vaudeville tour to
assume the role in Fantana.
A NEW PRIMA DONNA
Fred. C. Whitney has discovered a
new prima donna. She is Miss Clara Maentz,
a Chicago yonng woman who was engaged last
spring to understudy Mme. Scbnmann-Heink In
Love's Lottery. Miss Maentz joined the com-
pany this fall. When Schumann-Heink became
ill a few days ago, and was unable to appear
the Chicago public in relation to minstrelsy,
and he refused a tempting offer to defer his
engagement. The engagement will be Inter-
esting to watch, as minstrelsy has been waning
in Chicago for some years.
WESTERN PLAY BY A TAMMANY EDITOR
Texas, the new play which is being
revealed for the first time at the Great North-
ern this week is a drama of ranch life in
the southwest. The heroine is a girl known
as "Texas"' West. She Is the daughter of a
ranch owner of Val Verde County and loves
Jack Dallen, a cowboy and ranger. An Eng-
lish nobleman tries to win her from Jack,
and so there are troublous complications. The
play is by J. M. Feigi. editor ,>f the New
York Tammany Times. The cast inclndes Miss
Mabel DIxey. a daughter of Henry E. Dixey,
in the title role, and Sidney Ayres as Jack
Dallam, and Miss Harriet Broadhurst. It is a
Broadburst and Currle venture.

Miss Maentz was called upon, and scored so
successfully that Mr. Whitney already has
announced his intention of bringing her out
next season in a new opera by Julian Edwards.
Miss Maentz was graduated last year from
the Chicago Musical College. She was a pupil
of Herman DeVries. In amateur performances
of Carmen and Romeo and Juliet she did such
creditable work that Manager Whitney's at-
tention was directed to her. Miss Maentz has
a commanding personality and a contralto voice
of wonderful range.
A MANAGER'S TESTIMONIAL
Of the really remarkable engage-
ment of As Ye Sow at McVicker's, George
C. Warren says:
"The play was unknown— a first effort of
an unknown dramatist, and a preacher at that
—the cast, which proved excellent in the act-
ing, was not brilliant in name, and the op-
position of unusual out-of-doors weather and
attractions, and yet the receipts for the four
weeks were between $39,000 and fiO.OOO. The
managers of the company and the theatre
made an effort to shift Mr. Dockstader's time
to give the melodrama another week— the Bos-
ton engagement does not begin until Oct. 9 —
but the minstrel wanted to feel the pulse of
that contracts have been signed between Mr.
Colian and Sam H. Harris, his manager, and
the firm of Klaw &. Erlanger. through which
the latter becomes interested in the largest
of all the musical productions that have yet
been made by Mr. Cohan, George Washington,
Jr.
DOCKSTADER TO INVADE EUROPE
It is announced that Dockstader's
Minstrels will go to Europe uext spring when
their American tour ends, negotiations to that
end having been started during the past week.
This will be the second big American min-
strel company to tour Europe. J. H. Haveriy
and his organization being the first.
WM. NOBRIS AND THE LAND OF NOD
When The Land of Nod takes to the
road Miss Anna Laughlln will not be In the
cast, but William Norrls will continue to give
the leading comedian's role. Mr. Norrls has
been referred to as the WUllam Dean Howells
of musical comedy.

tice. Messrs. Parker and Bieder, who have
the promotion of the show in hand, have se-
cured the ready co-operation of the leading
representatives of the advertising business
throughout the country, and many of the most
unique, novel and striking projects yet evolved
in this field are being prepared for the com-
ing show, which is to be held Oct. 11-18. Tne-
lectnres by men and women prominent In this
school of commercial progress will be among
the most interesting and valuable features and
novelty concerns, and various publications de-
voted to these things are employing every In-
genious means to provide something entirely
new for display and demonstration during the
week.

tion numbers twenty-two artists, who were
enthusiastically received when they played here
last season. While this Important feature is •
big factor on the programme, it does not, how-
ever, monopolize the entire Interest, as there
are other stars. Maznz and Mazette offer their
eccentric acrobatics, and Fred PoweB proves
bis claim as an astonishing illusionist and
conjuror. Shepp's trained canines and eqnlnea
prove interesting performers, and Dick Lynch

JACOB LITT
Passes in New York
Well Known and Successful Manager
Dies After Two Years of
Suffering.
Jacob Litt, Hie well-known theatrical manager,
died at a sanitarium In Yonkers, N.' Y., Wednes-
day. Sept ST.: after a conflnment of two years,
^suffering : : from; a nervous 'ailment. \ From a
program: boy In a -/ Milwaukee theatre "to ■ big"
theatrical Interests In four large cities la the
gamut of : his career and the history* 'of - Mr.
Litt's life.
Jacob Utt was born in Milwaukee. Wis;; forty-
five years ago.;: -About twenty-five years: ago he
began lite career as a program boy in the old
Grand Opera House. later he became usher
and was appointed to a position In the box
office, and* shortly afterward became treasurer.
After the Grand was destroyed by fire, Mr.
Litt organized : a. summer opera company, which
-played Sehlitx Park several seasons to big suc-
cess.^ .Slated ;hy:: his: good: fortmie, the young
manager bought out a dime mnseum on Grand
avenoe,. which: he: managed fox several seasons,
adding b«Ui to his stock of experience and to
his capital. The owners of the Academy of
Music at Milwaukee engaged him to manage
that boose, and in a very short time became
one of the best -erst-class theatres in the
state. Mr. Litt then built the Bijou Theatre
and became its manager. : He established a
similar theatre In St. Pan! and a third in
Minneapolis.
But Mr. Litt was not content to confine
-his efforts to the building and management of
theatres. The Lights of London was his first
road venture amd his first success as a producer.
Twenty years ago Lights OILondon was one of
the most popular melodramas on the road, and
It paid him .handsome profits. The Stowaway
followed. It. was likewise popular and a finan-
cial success-. Mr. Litt then starred Gus Heege
In Ton xoosou and A Yenulne Yentleman, both
plays rjeeoming eminently snccessf al over the
popular-price drcutt». Ttte Ensign was also
produced, l>nrlng the summer of 1893 Mr. Litt
brought out the O. T. Dazey melodrama. In Old
Kentucky, which is still a big drawing attrac-
tion. The War of Wealth, also by Mr. Dazev
followed.
- In 18B8 Mr. Litt leased the Broadway Theatre
in New York City, which afterwards remained
his headquarters. Ben Hur was produced at this
^theatre under his management and scored a
hit. The same season he leased McVlcker's
Theatre, Chicago, which he opened with Bron-
sso Howard's Shenandoah, the cast of which
included Otis Skinner, Mary Hampton, Nanette
Comstock. Frank Butibeck and other well-known
players. TDhese successes were followed by pro-
ductions of Sporting Life. The Great Rnby.
-Caleb West. Tlie Price of Peace. Mistakes Will
Happen, Daly's The Suburban, The Club's
Bany. Zorxth. atul others. r ::
This strenuous life had its effect upon Mr.
Xltt's system, and two years ago he was taken
to the Yonker-"s sanitarium, suffering with ner-
vous prostration. The Immediate cause of his
death was apoplexy. Bis last days were quiet
ones, in vivid contrast' to: his days of strenuous
activity. At the time of his death he was
surrounded by his wire and two children, aged
seven and six. resp ctively. and by a number
lof friends. Mrs. Litt was known professionally
\ as Ruth Carpenter.
Mr. Litt was widely known, and he enjoyed a
host of warm personal friends. His eapaeitv for
work was astonishing. His rise was rapid" and
he accumulated: a: fortune.:; He 'was active In
helping to establish the Actors' Fund Home on
Staten Island, and for a number of years served
on the board of directors of the fund. A. W.
DingweH, for many years associated with Mr.
Utt. was recently taken into partnership witii

HALL CAINE IN NEW YORK
•Hall Caine is in New York. Very conspicu-
ously is he there. The insurance investigation
Is not bothering him particularly. Still the
author lias seen some shortcomings in the
Prodigal Son production, and with his usual
capacity for work he has assumed the prompt
book.
Rehearsals at the Xeiv Amsterdam are stann-
ous affairs these days. Just how much of our
president's famons quality they partake of it
■would require Edward Morgan, or Aubrey
Boueicault. or Drlna DeWolf to say.
Mr. Caine is endeavoring to rtplace some of
the veneer of authorship that was inevitably
rubbed off in the production without his earlier
supervision.
Generally, he is well-pleased with his new
play as put on by Liebler & Co. Still it is
convenient sometimes; to have :the author around
to ;:elucitlate ■ the ; : more subtle significance of
some: of: the lines.

Mme. Sarah Bernhardt's name has
been proposed by the Minister of Public In-
struction and Fine Arts for the Cross of
Knights of the Legion of Honor. The Grand
Chancery of the order, with which the final
decision rests, is now considering the list of
nominations. Every one hopes that the deco-
ration will be conferred on the famous actress
this time. It Is an open secret that she has
been more than once before proposed for the
Legion of Honor. But the Minister's nomina-
tion in her favor has been each time rejected
by the Grand Chancery, which, strange bb It
may seem In this land of dramatic art, enter-
tains Old World prejudices against the stage.
Hitherto not one French actor or actress has
been decorated as an actor or actress, but In
every caBe as a professor at the Conserva-
toire, or else for charitable work.

author.
The author makes no other claim to originality
in this version of Parsifal than am attempt to
catch whatever fresh gleams the retelling of an
old-time tale may shed upon his auditor.
He acknowledges his special indebtedness to
the verses of Wolfram von Bechenbach and
Cretlen de Troyer for the material from which,
like Wagner, he has drawn the story which
stands but as the new singing of an old
song.
He has slmp'y revivified a story which hung
from the mediaeval rafters of romance, like the
ever-gathering moss of the oaks and first gar-
nered by the lyric poet* of the period, to be
handed down to posterity as a glimpse behind
the veil Into the literature of that time.
Aided by much that Is modern In effect, he
has tried to retain the pristine atmosphere of
mysticism, as well as the sharp analysis of
character, as Is set forth In the half myths of
the parable-like utterances with which the
early singers struggled to throw the beautiful
story of the Redeemer Into the strong light
of reverence among a people at that time
Just entering Into the dawn of a future civiliza-
tion.
The general staff of the Parsifal company is
as follows: Martin & Emery, directors; H. B.
Dmery, manager; Daniel Martin, business direc-
tor; Sed J. Deschane, advance representative:

Cinclnnatians like Mr. Pipp. They like Dlgby
Bell, too, and there was much Interest as to
what lie would be like In the Gibson-Thomas
character. The results Justified the anticipa-
tion. Dlgby Bell never did as good work in
musical comedy as he does in the cartoon play.
It was a personal triumph, then.
The play pleased, too. There are many clever
lines in it. It would be bard to conceive of
anything more intellectually funny than Mr.
PIpp's soliloquy after the butler at Carony
Castle has displayed some tacit sympathy for
him. "It's funny," says Mr. Pipp. "Mrs.
Pipp and I never quarrel in the dining-room,
and I don't think 1 ever look scared— in the
production, or it may not, according to
the opinion of the one primarily inter-
ested. If he is of the former inclina-
tion, and has demonstrated through
published volumes that his purpose is
true, he may turn to the stage for a
hearing. But others to the contrary
notwithstanding, we do not believe he
ever actually loses the sense of art in
mercenary seeking. "We all want' the
good things of life, and if they may be
had and art gratified at the same time,
why not seek the quicker way? The
reading public is also the theatregoing ' »nd I
" ic. which goes to demonstrate that | dl ^s-room
public, „. e „^„ „ u^ u . M tio lc tiiai
the same audience may be had for the
published or the played production.
Mis-use of Tickets
Our attention has
been called repeat-
edly to the misap-
propriation of railroad tickets ad-
vanced for the transportation of those
engaged by wire or correspondence.
The practice is one of the most des-
picable with which managers have to
deal. It also gives the post-office offi-
cials much trouble, for it Constitutes
a usage of the mails for false purposes,
and Is punishable by imprisonment.
On account of tickets not being used
for the purpose they are intended,
many managers have adopted the rule
not to advance them under any cir-
cumstances; but this, also, has its in-
conveniences, as actors and perform-
ers are often loath to incur any per-
sonal expense until they are satisfied
That is the spirit of the whole play, and
Bell has caught the conception of the author
admirably. What is funnier- — and more pa-
thetic to disinterested on-lookers— than the con-
ditions of the hen-pecked husband.
The plot deals with the machinations of a
suddenly enriched matron to marry her daugh-
ters into high society. ,. Mrs. Pipp (Helen
Tracy) is a second Mrs. Malaprop. Her muti-
lation of the French language is lndicrous.
though not always amusing. Like tbe char-
acter itself it Is greatly exaggerated. The clev-
erness of the lines suffers somewhat in this
respect also. For instance, when Mr. Pipp
tells, of his courtship with the present Mrs.
Pipp in her father's little shanty on the banks
of the Ohio river, he says that he can still re-
member that her back-hair always smelt of
plne-tar. That doesn't come well from a de-
voted spouse who suffers his wife to order out
the scheme of his daily life.
After Mr. Thomas bad written two acts he
probably concluded that there wasn't enough
action to it, so he carted in some melodrama
that might well form the plot of a Theodore
Kremer play. It seems strangely ont of place
In a piece where the character delineation has
predominated through the two earlier acts.
On the whole, the attraction 1b most pleas-
ing. One forgets tbe last act In remembering
Saturday, October 7, 1905.
NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS
The first form of The Billboard, in-
cluding the last eight advertising pages,
goes to press Saturday morning. No
advertisements for these pages can be
given the desired position and no
changes can be made in standing ads
on any of these pages unless the copy
reaches us by noon Friday. No ads for
the last form will be accepted after
noon Monday.
Ho Pity Eur The H one had time, it
Maaager would be great amuse-
ment to read all the
dramatic reviewers. They say such
quaint things occasionally. In fact,
that seems to be their chief qualifi-
cation — to say quaint things. And how
they do love to Jump on a show that
fails to meet with their approval. Most
of them do so fail. Indeed, the austere
^ritic is afraid to praise any attrac-
"ttion too highly, lest he seem wanting
■n that fine judgment which comes
r irom wide experience. He reminds
himself always that dead Hamlets are
the only good Hamlets. Joseph Jef-
ferson said frequently that the hal-
cyon days of the stage were always
just one generation back. That is be-
cause the critics make it so. No play
Is ever quite as excellent as some-
thing that has been done before— if we
take the critic's word for it- Every
indlvianal comes in for his share of
commiseration except the manager
The public is imposed upon, the play-
ers are^ iinfortunately cast, and the
critic himself has to spend his valua-
ble time sitting through a dull per-
formance. The manager is blamed for
an this— the manager who is really the
sole loser. The public pays at most
two dollars for its seat. The produc-
ing manager puts thousands of dollars
Into a failure. Surely if anyone would
want it to please, he does. Why cen-
sure him?

Hovebsts and Playwrights novelists are

attention to play-writing. Take Caine

to the list. The incentive is obvious.
Play- writing pays more than author-
ship — after success has been gained.
"While the unknown playwright may
remain unknown, the author who has
achieved some degree of popularity
may readily get a reading when he
produces a play manuscript. Pub-
lishers are far more easily induced
to tafce a chance with a first book
than are managers with a first play,
providing, of course, in the latter case,
the author has -not already won popu-

Obadiah Stout, a professor »f maslc, tax col-
lector, a candidate for postmaster, "an al-
mighty selfish critter," and more especially is
love with Llndy Putnam. We have seen suck
character as Obadiah and welcomed tbe Im-
personation. Hiram Maxwell, played by Floyd
R. Briggs, was another well drawn character
at least In the last act, though the character
might be improved upon In the first scenes of
the play. We shared sorrow wllh Llndy Put-
nam, the character in which Ada Wadswortb
appeared. Miss Wadswortb' did all that was
expected of her. Juliet Martin, as Huldy
Mason, was good. She scored a hit in her
little scene with Zeklel Pettlngill; and left the
impression that she is capable of a more am-
bitious role. Zeklel was in the hands of Karl
L. Way. and the several little scenes In which
lie appeared with his sister, Alice, were choice
bits of pathos. We greatly sympathized with
Zeke, and admired his devotion to his strickea
sister. Burton Adams gave a splendid im-
personation of a good old soul In Deacon Ma-
son, and G. H. Thurston did not overdo the
role of Rob Wood, bass singer and town bully
Frances Williams put much life into Mandj
Skinner and was always lively. Mundy was
all right. In the role of the despllcable Mrs.
Putnam — "Just put on airth to worrv other
people" — Sabra De Shon was convincing in
spite of a faulty make-up. We expected Mrs.
Putnam to look "terrible," but Miss De Shon's
impersonation looked more like she had Just
finished cleaning a very filthy . stbpeplpe. We
wager that Mrs. Putnam never cleaned a stove-
pipe in her life, especially after she "took
in" Samanthy. We mnst attribute her ap-
pearance to an overdose of grease paint. How-
ever, In actions, this character was well drawn
Kathryn Vila, as Mrs. Hawkins, boardhur-
bouse keeper and tit-bit retailer, showed us a
character without which a village could not
exist. E. A. Turner was better as the chum
of Mr. Sawyer than as the lover of Llndy
C. S. Sellenberger was natural as the post-
offlce chap with nothing to do outside of the
first act. It is a very evenly balanced cast,
and Justice Is done to the parts which the
author evidently had in mind. Business at
the Walnut was good all week.
Last week the Forepaugh Stock Co. at Rob-

The Charity Ball. Every character was suit-
ably adapted by the different members of the
cast. This Is a play which reqnlres no ex-
cessive costumes, the ordinary evening dress
being worn throughout the performance. Ann
Crnger, as a New York Girl, was ably taken
care of by Miss Lavinla Shannon, and Harry
Bnrkbardt as John Van Bnrn, rector at St.
Mildred's, presented this peculiar character In
a most agreeable manner. The role of Judge
Knox taken by Albert Saekett was excep-
tionally good, and Louise Kent, as Mrs. c£
mllla DePeyster also scored favorably. Miss
Lanra Pierpont and Walter B. Gilbert deserve
special mention in their langbable love-making.
Others who deserve mention are Henrietta

played to capacity all last week.

built for and suited to the temperament of a
different people, are merely transplanted to
masquerade before an audience, which, though
cosmopolitan its taste, demands works that
savor more of its own soil, unless the quality
of general human Interest transcends its ex-

CURTAIN : up AT Georg e w. CUatterton man-
MIDNIGHT ageg the chfttterton Theatre.
Manager Chatterton has announced that on
Oct 4 an4 5 the curtain would go up at 12.
midnight, on The 'Pumpkin Husker. It is all
o account at the state fair which Is being
held in Springfield this week. Knowing that
many people would be turned away during the
regular evening performance. Manager Chat-
terton lilt upon the plan of securing an extra
•ittractlon to put on a midnight performance for
the benefit of those who were either unable to
.ecurc seats for the regular performance, or
desired to visit the fair during the earlier por-
tion of the evening. The plan took immediately,
and there was a rush for reserved aeats. When
it comes t» exigencies. Manager George W.
■Chatterton 1» always on the spot.
The editor of the Perry (N. x".) Herald-
\"e«s geU back strong at the manager of the
local theatre which had neglected to patronize
his sheet. He aaya: "Si Stettbins Friday night
and Human Hearts Monday night, two good
attractions, played to small bouses on account
of iusuScient advertising, one-halt of the bill-
boards and the press being omitted. Attrac-
tions will look out bow they book into Perry
hereafter, whem the opera house manager refuses
;o properly advertise them."
The Tenderfoot without tights came near being
the sltuaUom at Nebraska City, r*eb.. one eve-
ning last week, according to the fears of sev-
eral Chora* girls. The company left over the
Missouri Pacific at B o'clock, but even that was
too soon for the baggage hustlers to get all
the trunks at the car. The girls watched their
trunks like hawks, and when they saw the
baggage reposing quietly on one of the trucks,
they let out a cry of warning when they
found that the train was about to pull out and
leave them. The conductor stopped the train
and the trunks were loaded.

one performance Sept. 22. Nat's act was very

Hanimersteln falling to advertise a feature like
the captain of the Ill-fated Barge that foundered
recently with the Beauty! Fact was, Oscar
didn't know ;Nat Goodwin was going to appear.
Neither did Carter De Haven, of the Lulu Glaser
company, who . was enjoying the maunee per-
formance at the Victoria from a box. With De
Haven was one Miss Parker, a non-professional
from the neighborhood of Central Park. Nat
Goodwin entered from the front of the house —
not as the minstrel men do. Nat wasn't singing:
he was mad. Nat's funnier than usual when
he's mad. He strode down the aisle (even
a comedian can stride when he's mad) and
entered tbe box where sat De Haven and Miss
Parker. He said something to the lady that
the audience dldtt*'t hear, and she got up and
followed him from the theatre. Then Nat came
back. It Isn't on record whether he got a door
check when he went out. No doubt be did. He
had bought a ticket to come in the first time.
Jost imagine that! At any rate he came back
and threatened to assassinate De Haven right
there in the box before all the people. That
was the greatest comedy stroke of his career.
De Haven alooe asrvd It from being a tragedy.
He didn't want to be assassinated. So Nat
went out again to where Miss Parker was wait-
ing in his automobile. He took her home. Then
it struck De iHaven that It might make him
famous to be assassinated and he rushed after
the villain who had abducted his matinee girl.
Not having an automobile (De Haven Isn't a
star yet), he did not overtake Goodwin till Miss
Parker had been concealed In the villain's— that
is to say deposited in the care of her mamma.
Then the injured hero bared his breast and
defied the villain to strike. But the audience
had been left behind at the Victoria, so Good-
win let him Mve. The plot Isn't quite clear,
but the act made a hit. The newspapers; well.
Just look at them.
Rival political mass meetings outside the
Academy of {Music made such a din that the
audience gathered to see 'Way Down East could
hardly hear a word from the stage. The social-
ist-labor speakers held forth on the northwest
corner of Fourteenth street and Irving place,
and the social democratic speakers bellowed
from the Academy corner. Manager Gllmore
protested to the leaders, and after some words
with Patrick Doaohue in charge of the social
democrats, he was driven into the theatre. In
a few moments he reappeared, reinforced by
a dozen stage hands, armed with braces, scant-
lings and other material from the stage. The
stage handB started In to drive the crowd away
when ten police reserves, under Detective Ser-
geant Manning, came up. They arrested two of
the speakers and dispersed the crowd that had
gathered, and the play Inside went on. Mean-
while the socialist-labor meeting on the other
corner went on undisturbed. Before the ar-
rival of the police the crowd was so large and
turbulent that it stopped the cars In Fourteenth
street.
Julia Ifarlowe suffered a severe fall In Cleve-
land. Ohio, last week as the result of the heel
of her French slipper catching in a crack in the
sidewalk as she was on. her way to the theatre.
She limped preecptlhl.v on the stage, and a
sprained ankle gave her much pain : for several
days.
George Ade now explains how it all happened.
Aiikcd why The Bad Samaritan— which was
taken off last Saturday night after an engage-
WHY THE BAD 8AMAKI- ^"tL^Ga'rden^The*
TAN FAILED are. New VoJk-
f ailed, he aald:
"Because it was Its turn. They come every
other with me. The odd numbers are the only
ones that score In niv game. As evcryono fcnowB
whose wife and bank roll have allowed him to
follow the theatre, The Sultan of Sulu was a
big success. That was number one. Then
came Peggy From Paris. A little wobbly Peggy
was. The public did not seem to think as
much of her as either Colonel Savage or I did;
she did not Beem to get all the way back from
Pari*, •ammm N*. S came The County Chairman,
a big success. Odd number, yon see. The No.
4, The Bho-Gun, did not go off quite right. Only
scored on an outer ring. No. 5, odd number
again — The College" Widow. Everybody liked
her. Then this very Bad Samaritan. Even
number you see. No help for it. And there
are psychological reasons, if you choose to
analyze the play, dissect it and weigh it. I
never follow the laid down rules of accepting
stage technique In writing plays. Paul Potter
tried many a time to argue me Into doing it.
I build my plays by Impulse. He builds his by
rule. I cannot measure out human emotions
as you would molasses, and I cannot add up
heart throbs like so many items In a grocer's
bill. There* were two psychological errors, as
near as my hindsight allows me to discover —
one that the American public has ceased to be
Interested in wealth. Money is too common.
A millionaire is no longer a curiosity, or even
an object of interest. Instead of playing a star
part he Is only one ol a big chorus, almost
as monotonous as the old Greek chorus, at
that. . That's where I erred. To me a lot of
money has always seemed an attractive setting
to a man, but it Is not to New Yorkers. Yon
can't throw a stick out of a window without
hitting a millionaire. In New York a man with
a thousand puppy dogs would stir up ten times
the interest that a man would who had ten
million. Money Is too common. So you see
that robs the central figure of his allurement.
And then, the love story of the play did not
appeal. It's that of an old man, a rich old
man In love with a young servant, a house-
keeper in a country hotel. When acted seri-
ously, as it was, the romance was ridiculous.
New York said. 'Oh, fudge.' and I don't won-
der, now that I have seen it with the varnish
of authorship rubbed off. 1 think It has more
funny lines than any play I have produced. 1
also think tbe idea of a man who tries to _help
people with his money and finds he is only doing
them an injury is not bad.. The dog's life he
leads is Just about what would happen to sir.
Rockefeller if he allowed the public to run in
on him." And there you are. It may be
added that glowing reports about the crops on
bis Indiana place enable Farmer George jjot
only to tell the truth, but to face it with
equanimity. Even the fact that his musical
play— sin of Us youth, entitled The Night Be-
fore The Fourth— is now playing the one-night
stands cannot depress him.

the new production, some even declaring that
it is better than Little Johnny Jones.
The new Colonial is a -.beauty. Its superb
floral decorations surpass anything ever yet at-
tempted In the way of theatrical architecture.
The new management -'-'as well as the new
policy gives every evidence of being a winner.
The opening stirred Chicago theatregoers as
they had never been stirred before.

DEATHS
Ella Lawrence, the well-known character ac-
tress, died Sept. 24 at the home of her sister,
Mrs. Delia Doup, 711 Indiana avenue, Indian-
apolis, Ind. Miss Lawrence was privately
known as Ella Young. About three years ago
111 health compelled her to dose suddenly
while touring Michigan, and she went to live
with her sister. She never returned to the
stage, but remained in Indianapolis, where she
became well known to a large circle of friends.
On Friday Miss Lawrence was stricken with
acute congestion of the brain, and was carried
to her room, where she remained unconscious
until the final curtain call. Miss Lawrence
began her stage career when fourteen years of
age, and remained behind the footlights for
thirty-three years. She was particularly known
for her marvelous power of memory which
scored a hit for her in a -number of instances
throughout her varied career. She was at one
time appearing at the Park Theatre in In-
dianapolis with Sadie Hassen in The Kentucky
Girl. Miss Hassen became suddenly HI and
could not play. Miss Lawrence went on at a
moment's notice and tlwv audience was none
the wiser. At another time she was playing
with a Ten Nights In a Bar-room company.
At Ft. Wayne, Ind., Simon Slade, the bar-
tender, became incapacitated. Miss Lawrence
volunteered to play both roles. She made up
and the manager accepted. She played six
nights before one of her boots came off. and
revealed such a dainty feminine foot that the
audience caught on. Later the women of the
town presented her with a gold ring with an
Inscription voicing their admiration. The body
of Miss Lawrence was taken to Columbus, Ind.,
for':: burial.;;;;

CROP REPORT
■ Washington. Sept. 26.— -The Weather Bureau
in its weekly ; bulletin: summarizes crop ; condi-
tions as foUosvs:
The -temperature during the: week :> ending
Sept. 55 was favorable throughout the country,
being nearly :: everywhere \ above the normal.
Rains caused some damage In portions of the :
Missouri and upper Mlsslppll valleys, while a
considerable part of tbe south Atlantic and golf
states is in need of rain. Damaging frosts oc-
curred in the middle Rocky maun tain region,
and light frosts with little or no Injury in por-
tlons of the lower lake region and Interior of the ^ .
middle Atlantic states. ■
Except In limited parts of the Missouri valley
corn has experienced a: week of ; conditions highly
favorable for maturing the crop, from seventy-
five to ninety per cent, of which la »ow safe
from frost. The remainder will require : only
about a week of favorable weather. In Nebras-
ka considerable corn has b^en blows down by
high winds. ; but this win only make harvesting
more difficult without reducing the yields Some
corn In shock In Missouri and Kansas has been
damaged by moisture, due largely to rains of
the previous week. .
The threshing of spring wheat in the Dakotoa
and Minnesota was: interrupted by rains during
the first halt of the week, but shock threshing
and stacking are not yet finished. Im the Dako-
tas the yield and quality are variable and gen-
erally: disappointing;
The reports indicate but little change in the
condition of cotton in South Carolina. Georgia
and Alabama and Oklahoma and Indian Terri-
tories, a slight improvement la northeastern
Texas, and more or less deterioration la other
portions of the cotton belt, although there is
decidedly less complaint of rust and shedding In
the central and In portions of the eastern dis-
tricts. Picking In Texas was interrupted to
some extent by rata, but this work has been
; active under gem-rally favorable conditions in
all districts except the north central portion of
the belt, where it is not general. Picking la
neartag completion In portions of Georgia, Louis-
tana and extreme soutlwrn Texas.
Some injurr to bonsed tobac» by n""? 1
weather Is reported from portions of the mid-
dle Atlantis states and New England, but
elsewhere the reports respecting this crop are
favorable. . , ,_ , , .,
No improvement In the apple em-loot is Indi-
cated, an inferior crop being reported from
practically all the apple-productag^ states. Ai
poor crop of potatoes is generally indicated-
Except In the east gulf states, where ^the^
soil has been to dry for plowing, this work Is
generally well-advanced. Much seeding has
been done and the early: sona is coming up to
good stands throughout the central vallera and
middle Atlantic states.

-Opening: at Fern. Ind., April 28, the Wal-
lace : Shows have enjoyed a successful season.
Under the able direction of General Agent W.
B. Franklin, the advance has made a wouderfnl
showing, and the general harmony existing be-
twMB: ft& department heads back with the
show has had -much to do towards the success
of the 1905 tour. . The ring: performance this
season has been exceptionally strong. The
Wallace show, however, is noted for its circus
performance. -The tonr of 1906 will be marked
by a number of striking innovation, and Mr.
B. B. Wallace promises an organization second
to none int the circus field.
MRS. McC ADDON DEAD
•Mrs. Joseph T. McCaddon. wife of the pro-
prietor of the McCaddon Shows, died suddenly
In Condon, according to advices received from
the British: metropolis. : Mrs. McCaddon was
prominent In:; Philadelphia social circles. Mrs.
Jas. A. Bailey, wife of the great showman, and
Mrs. Dr. Harper, wife of the eminent New
York physician, are her sisters. She accom-
panied her husband to Ziondon last spring when
he took his show to Europe. She leaves three

MAY WINTER IN THE WEST
It J» reported that Major W. W. Dime Is
deairons of establishing his winter quarters
in the west, and with that purpose In view
B. C. Kropp. general agent of the Pawnee
Bin Show, visited Wichita, Kan., last week.
Mr. Kropp : appeared to be very much pleased
with 'the :Kansas city: and annonnced that he
would report favorably to MaJ. Lillle. He has
entered Into negotiations for suitable grounds,
and it is the opinion prevalent among Wichita
citisens < that the Pawnee Bin Show win win-
ter is that city.
NOT SO SERIOUSLY
D. H. Lano, performer with the Wallace
Shows,:: writes as foBows: "In regard to a
nottce- appearing in The Billboard that I was
probably fatally Injured at Mew Albany, Ind.,
Sept. 4, wfll say that I was discharged from
the St. Edwards Hospital one week ago, and
am now able to walk about with a cane. I
am getting better all the time, and am now
able to be with the show. My position has
been, held for me- My wif e, Mazie Imno, and
I wfll play vaudeville this winter."
Edna Maretta is still adding to her fame
as a somersault artist. She is more graceful
than ever.
Warren Travis, who has won new laurels in
his marvelous lifting act, win return to his
home In Brooklyn as soon as the season closes.
The McNuts, who joined In August, have
made many friends. Their act elicits ap-
plause at every performance, surpassing any-
thing ever attempted upon the stage.
Capt. Hngh Thompson, of the cavalry com-
pany, wUl shortly enter the Kansas City Vet-
erinary College to prepare himself for a posi-
tion in the division of nTilmal industry in the
Department of Agriculture at Washington.
Frank LaBose has had a strenuous season
with the Big Ten. Besides giving his jug-
gling act in the big performance he has been
engaged in statuary posing, chariot racing,
ticket taking. lithograph collecting and act-
ing as special attendant on the Governor.
This winter win see him back in his old place
as art model In the Cincinnati Art Insti-
tute.
Aside from the births and death that have
had a place in Doc WaddeH's imagination,
the menagerie has been enriched by the ad-
vent of two Zebn calves, an Anoa calf, two
litters of lion cubs and a Utter of leopard
cubs. It has suffered the loss of a trained
lion, the leopard cnbs already mentioned, an
Addax antelope and a cinnamon bear. Mrs.
Dr. Matthews, of Carllnvflle. DX, presented
the menagerie with a fine young coyote. The
animals are an in good condition.
Margaret Elrick has made a name for her-
self as a six-horse driver, and Is perhaps the
CIRCUS WOMAN INJURED
During a performance of. the Pawnee Bill
Wild West at Burlington, Kan., Sept. 21,
Wenona, of Wenona and Frank, champion rifle
shots, received injuries which will probably
keep her from work for some time. Doling
their act Wenona shoots from a rapidly moving
horse. Owing to a muddy arena her horse
slipped and fell. Wenona was thrown to the
ground and sustained a severe scalp wound
and an injured left foot.

In the history of the show. The past season

having bad no rain since the early part of
May and little hot weather to speak of. We
opened in Jonesboro, Ark., in March, and the
car has traveled 9,682 miles, covering every-
thing of Importance west of the Mississippi
river. The roster of the car is practically
the same as when we started out In de-
parting for their homes and winter positions

THE ROBINSON SHOWS
_Bev~ W. H. Sneak, of the Bobinson Shows,
writes entertainingly as follows:
Tom Extun has taken, charge of the cook
house, and Is achieving for bttn«eif a larze
measure of success.
Mrs. John G. Robinson Is again with the
show, after an absence of two months.
_6na, Ledget Is considering a nattering propo-
sition from a vaudeville company.
Though Nellie Currier has had no previous
-experience In a menagerie act she is riding
- wiai as much grace and skin as a veteran
horsewoman. 8he is also doing nicely in her
ladder act.
Lola and Lola Daniels are splendid exam-
. pies of what circus life wfll do for a girl.
• When they joined the show In 1902 they were
■ frafl and delicate. Now they are perfect speci-
mens of womanhood.
BIta Hoist has greatly enjoyed her
In the King Solomon Spectacle.
These tight-wire artists are now playing
their twenty-seventh week as a feature act
with the F. W. Hall Circus.
most expert lady "long string" driver in the
world. She Is also captain of the Ladles'
Zouave Co.
Everybody is mourning the loss of Mr. and
Mrs. Geo. Stumpf. Mr. Stnmpf, commonly
known as "Buggy" and who has been a faith-
ful employee of the Ten Big for years, has
resigned to go with the Hagenbeck Show.
Probably no man can put a show onto a train
In less time and with as little loss of space as
Mr. Stnmpf. Mrs. Stnmpf, as Miss Myrtle
Kearns, had the wardrobe here for two years
and was a good and true friend to everybody.
Their baby. Mary, won a place in the hearts
of both old and yonng.
Prof. Winston's sea lions continue a star
feature of the performance. Prof. Winston Is
a gentleman and a hard-working trainer, and
deserves his success. Trainer HndgenB, who
has been working the troupe with the show
this season, is an able lieutenant.
Miss Ada Lorton Is again with us. Last sea-
Bon Miss Lorton was with Hereafter, on the
Pike. In April she decided to spend the sum-
mer with her mother at her home near Cin-
cinnati. She grew tired of the quiet Ufe and
in two months signed with the Hoss & Nan-
man Carnival Co. to sing The Holy City in
connection with a Biblical spectacle. When
ttat company closed she came back to the Ten
P ,e - j£S ta rMm 8 1" «ne ladles' flat race, and
is participating in the spectacle as in former
seasons. She is also a member In the Ladles'
Zouave Co.
The Bobinson Show has suffered from the
many unfavorable conditions of the season, as
have aU the big circuses, but, despite all re-
verses, a large measure of financial success has
come _,- J? the old Institution. Business was
especially good throughout New England, New
York, Onto and Indiana. »*»-«. «™

retain the ear-lap privileges."

for this structure, and the board decided to vote
another $50,000 and make it an even $100,000.
Secretary Randall was given authority to repair
the roofs of both the main and agricultural
buildings. The board also gave Mr. Randall
power to keep the men at work beautifying the
grounds and keeping them in repair. This
action was taken hist year and it proved a very
wise measure. Trees will be planted and the
fair grounds will take on the appearance of a
state park.
. The board voted that the recent fair was the
biggest event held In the west.

STREET FAIR NOTES
CLEARED TEN THOUSAND
The Kentucky State Fair — the third In the
Mstory of the state, held at Lexington. Sept.
18-23, was a winner, clearing over $10,000.
The attendance ranged from 15,000 to 30,000
dally. Owing to the big «n«nM«i showing the
Kentucky legislature wflt be asked at Its next
session to appropriate sufficient funds to pur-
chase: grounds and make the fair a permanent
feature.
The fact that the two preceding fairs were
not financial successes Is shown more forcibly
- In the fact that attachment proceedings were
brought against the new association for debts
claimed to be due from the old association.
Secretary Bain, nor the board of control, knew
nothing of the old debts, and it was decided
to let the courts decide whether the new as-
sociation shall pay them. The amount claimed
to be due from the old association is $1,543.48.
WILL PLAY DALLAS FAIR
Messrs. Raver and Darnaby have made a ten
strike- for- their New Xorker Amusement Com-
pany In closing contracts fbr fourteen days

naby went to Texas last week and concluded
arrangements for this engagement. We un-
derstand five other carnivals fought for the
contract,. . furnishing all . of the Inducements

LOOK OUT FOR THIS "JOKER"
A MONO the amendments to the
constitution and by-laws of
the Associated Billposters,
which were adopted at Mon-
treal, is one that reads as follows:
"That in case an emergency shall arise,
which. In the Judgment of the Directory,
makes it expedient to chance the city
selected by the Association at Its previous
session, the Directory shall select the place
for the annual meeting."
When this amendment was offered
it was stated that in case of epidemic
or disaster it might be necessary for
the place of meeting to be changed on
short notice, in which case the Direc-
tory should be empowered to act
Good enough reason, and the amend-
ment was adopted without further
thought; but back of that was an-
other reason which was not mentioned
in the convention — the real reason for
the offering of the amendment.
• * *
Most billposters will understand
that when a meeting of the Associa-
tion is held In some out of the way
place the attendance is limited to those
who can afford to pay for transporta-
tion. It is a notable fact that con-
. ventions held in the east have never
been marked by large attendance,
while those in the 'west have always
been record breakers. The reason is
plain enough: a convention at. Chi-
cago is within reach of a large num-
ber of small-town billposters who can
not afford to pay railroad fare to a
meeting at Atlantic City.
» • •
Now, as a matter of fact, the gang
do not want the small-town billposter
to attend the convention and help
them make the rules. That is why
nearly all the conventions are held in
the east where high transportation
charges and hotel bills make it impos-
sible for a great many members to at-
tend.
• • •
This year the gang saved their
bacon by going to Montreal. To en-
able them to swing next year's plans
without the interference of the small-
town guy, they proposed to go to As-
bury Park, N. J. The project was not
enthusiastically received, notwith-
standing the oily gammon of Jim
O'Mealla. When the Shredded Wheat
Man proposed Niagara Falls he was
thrown down hard by Barney Link,
though he had in his pocket a letter
from Barney assuring him of every
possible support Then Bryan, who
saw the thing was going begging, sug-
gested Cleveland in a sort of don't
care way. Bob Campbell couldn't
stand for the next convention going to
if. veIkn<i ' and proposed Chicago,
which was chosen by the convention
with a hurrah.
• • •
chlca So, above all other towns, is
the place to get out a representative
meeting of billposters. The men in
the east all have money, and can af-
ford to go. It will be nearer for the
men in the west and southwest but
it is right next door for the hundreds
of small-town billposters in Ohio, In-
diana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
lowa, Missouri, and the other states of
the Middle West. If held in Chicago.
the next convention will be a small-
town billposters' convention. The gang
Know this, and they also know that it
will be fatal to their plans If the
small-town billposters predominate at
the next meeting.
• • •
As a matter of fact Campbell don't
want the next convention at Chicago;
ne would far rather go somewhere
eise and escape the bother that a con-
vention would be to him in his own
I 7JI' He wU1 flnd reasons for not
noiding it there, and then the Direc-
tors will bring their little "joker" into
?„; ^ nd chan se the place of meeting
to Asbury Park, without asking the
consent of the members.
• • •
This matter may come up at the
*% of the Directors in Cincinnati
next December; but it is more than
" ke 'y that it will be put off till the
meeting in March, or arranged even
more quietly, in order to prevent an
effective protest from the great ma-
jority of billposters who want to go
to Chicago. It will be a good idea to
keep your eyes on that little "joker"
just to see how it works.

Our wireless connection with New
York has been out of order for the
past few weeks, but is now working
again. We hear that Old Hote has
opened up again with offices on Park
Place, and is putting up signs every-
where. Pratt has returned from a trip
to Portland, San Francisco, Los An-
geles, Denver, and other western
points. He was accompanied by his
wife and daughter. He looks ten years
younger. When you stop to think of
it he ought to be having the time of
his life. Pratt's income must be in
the neighborhood of $30,000 per year,
and he doesn't have to turn his hand
for it He has Barney and Campbell
and O'Mealla and the rest of them
working for him; why should he work?
Well, some men have to be kicked into
a. good time.
* • •
There are a number of items that
have come over the wireless that won't
do to tell just now. They are good,
and will keep awaiting developments.
In the meantime keep your eye on the
"joker." BUTTINSKI.

THE MISTAKE OF TTTa life
Chas. H. Day, 88 Meadow St, New Haven, Conn
An admirer of Bob Hall, at the time when
he came to be a tired and retired minstrel, en-
thusiastically remarked without exaggeration,
that the excellent exponent of the entertaing
eccentricities of the engaging Ethiopian was
"As full of gossip as a maiden lady . of an
uncertain age, and has a memory equal to that
of any man you every owed a dollar to. His
facts and figures are more reliable than the
government statistics.*: and a plagued sight more
Interesting, and I don't know his equal In mixing
arithmetic ot dates with the art of acceptable
annecdotes."
A half hour after the flattering statement the
versatile Mr. Hall was demonstrating the truth
of the assertion, holding an audience who were
all ears to his reminiscent relations, and re-
vivfylng remarks and ruminations aloud, pertain-
ing to the minstrel performances of the past,
part of which he was and all of which he knew
through personal knowledge. While: Bob could
rival the deep sea sailor as a yarnsplnner and
a purveyor of perils, he retained the merit of
accuracy, and if he had been Inclined to litera-
ture would by nature have taken to history and
biography rather than to the inventions and
blandishments of fancy and fiction. The nar-
rator had one gratifying qualification, he was
not like the maiden ot limited musical at-
tainments, who require urging- and imploring
to maltreat the piano or agonise her friends
with a trying test of a voiceless voice — not a
note in It. If Bob had lived in Japan. Turkey
or Arabia be would have been paid high honors
as a teller of tales that not only beat the band,
but distanced the fife and drum corps. In
cutting loose one morning at the restorative
refectory of Sandy Spencer he regaled:
"Perhaps, gentlemen, I may be a backnumber,
a fossil, an old foggy or a prehistoric relic,
bnt I must say that I am not In love with
what I see fit to term the digressions in modern
minstrelsy. Like the gentlemen from Kentucky,
I prefer the straight goods." The apt simile
brought a smile to the face of the barkeep,
and tbe speaker continued with an appreciative
nod. "Now, it is the proper caper to finish the
show with a troupe of white acrobats or a lot
of Japs or Arabs. I suppose that these
modern alleged improvements pay, or the man-
ager would not go to extra expense of providing
them. When I was on earth the minstrels put
up singers who could sing, and comedians who
had an opportunity to show then- ability in
clever and funny - sketches and burlesques.
Huh! Wow some of the comedians alt on the
end empty-handed and neither bans; a bone «c
tingle a tamborlne; and as for the banjo, that
Is banished almost for good. Then ttiey have
got real minstrel shows with the real article,
where the color is warranted not to wash, bnt
may run with a razor in the stremwoe hour
of difficulty. Many a good torber has turned
out a poor performer while wearing of the wool
Instead of the wig.
It wasn't aU you newcomers either that
started these Imperilling Innovations. The old-
timers set a bad example -and were just as
guilty as the Johnny Newcotnba and Men of The
Hour. The Buckleys, who had to have a woman
—a real prima donna; Leon, The Only, bad to
make up In yellow instead of black to look
the octoroon, instead ox the swell lady coon;
Bill 'Newcomb showed a freak in part two;
Chang, the Chinese giant. I must confess, d» a
tall business; Sam Sharply, Instead of singing
a negro ditty on the end, sang an English
music hall song. Gruel Mary Holder. I can't
just say who sang the first Irish song on the
end: perhaps it was Joe Murphy, he knew bow
to do it. So did Jerry Cohan, with La Rue's
Minstrels, when he played on the other end
with Cal. Wagner. Harry Kernell did an end
with Jack Haverly and, if I remember rightly;
sang with a brogue. A good number of Irish-
men were clever endmen, and I can recall : at
this minute Archie Hughes, Fayette Welch and
Hughey Dougherty.
"Then the Dutch impersonators got In their
destroying work on the minstrel show. Jtm
Badworth was very funny as a Iratchman in
a blackface; J. K. 'Emmet simply gnat; Dutch
Morris too funny for anything and a legitimate
comedian of rare merit, as he could neither
sing or dance, relying entirely upon his acting
and excruciating dialect. As for the wonderful
Billy Emerson, he was 'found equally good
representing all nationalities, which reminds ire
have had with no great degree of success, Irish
minstrels and minstrels of all nations. Somehow
they didn't seem to catch on, although they
were quite a novelty and their projectors counted
on their taking largely.
"Speaking about Jerry Cohan, be was a very
clever young fellow and wrote his own songs,
but when he appeared at Springfield, Mass.,
with Xa Rue his good -Irish mother was de-
lighted at his advancement, but demurred at his
'making a nagur of himself.' Some at the
Celts are very sensitive about their conntrymen *
blacking up or caricaturing the Irish. Cohan
once sang his Apples and Pears in a Canadian
city and it came pretty near causing a riot.
The house and about everything there was In
it rose at him. Jerry was an artist and never
found it necessary to wear green, whiskers or
look like a monkey to get a laugh.
"I had a friend who was clever oa the end,
and who could make any of them hustle. His -
name was Magulre, and he was first-class wbere-
ever you put him. On a push he could sing a
ballad and often led the choruses. Besides being
an artist, he was -tractable and tactful and weU-
thonght-of by managers. Far that reason he
was always working and much sought-after.
"We traveled with the same organisation for'
two seasons, and be was always telling me
about his old Irish uncle, the wealthy Pat.
Magulre, his father's brother. This Magulre bad
made his pile as a contractor and bad retired
from active business on a competency. He
hadnt a wife living or a child, and my friend,
Billy Magulre. was the heir apparent. The
Megulre's corresponded regularly, but It was
nearlng the end of the season before t-Se com-
pany played the old man's town and. BIBj" bt.d
an opportunity to see him, and also prove to
him his ability in the minstrels business. The -
result was not at all to my friend's likin$ or
anticipation. On the contrary, right there he
made the mistake of his life. Pat. Magulre, the
man of much money, doted on a good comic
Irish song, and Billy had one put in the 4>U1
for him to sing on the end -for the education of
his rich uncle and prospective benefactor. The
rendition of the ditty railed to have the con-
templated pleasurable effect. The uncle was at
first amazed at his. nephew's singing an Irish
song -with the face of a negro, and then he
was boiling over In Indignation, grabbed bis
hat and bolted from the complimentary private
box with - which be had been provided. The en-
raged Pat. Magulre made straight for borne,
and that was the last time that Billy ever set*
eyes upon bis aggrieved uncle. Uncle Pat.
passed away a few years after and left bis
gr at estate to worthy charities."
STRANGE MUSICAL INVEN T I ON
0. D. Willard, of the noted Hints, Blake ft
Wlllard Amusement Syndicate, is building for
bis famous Temple of Music a giant musical
Instrument, said to be the most stupendous
novelty in the musical line ever built In this
country. It Is to be christened The Fluke-
mlzer. and In its construction over 1,000 pieces
of gas pipe, the odds and ends of pipes, used
in the laying of electrical cables throughout
the Chicago White City grounds, win be util-
ized. The Instrument will weigh over four
tons and will be played by the Nine Musical
WlSards on their approaching Cuban tour.
Wlllard certainly has some strange ways of
producing music, and is an original genius.

LATE PARK SEASON
Not in years has Chicago experi-
enced "park weather" at this time of the
year such as the weather man has been de-
livering the past two weeks. Clear and balmy
during the day and not cold enough for wraps
In the evening. White City and Sans Sond
have profited, and both of these big parks have
offered plenty of meritorious attractions. The
Knabenshce airship flights attracted hundreds
of thousands to White City. In this connec-
tion It id only fair to state, that the White
City excursion department, under the- direction
of J. Frttocis Miller, has contributed In a great
measure In working up the enormous attend-
ance. , . .

ent from the usual entertainments to be seen

"end men" of this entertaining aggregation.
Stinson and Merton, known as laugh - pro-
vokers, are favorites and McMahon and Chap-
pelle contribute a southern plantation nov-
elty. At The Railroad Crossing. Mile. Emmy
introduces several canines with their remark-
able performances. Nelson Downs, the illu-
sionist and coin manipulator, delights with bis
astonishing exhibitions, and the musical Gool-
mans offer instrumental selections. Joe New-
man, a song humorist of Denver; makes his
appearance on this bill, and his readings and
manners • resemble those of Bill Nye. The
Jackson Family are^ exponents of physical cul-
ture and Murray K. Hill offers amnsing paro-
dies, songs and stories. Others are Danlng'
Harris family. Curtain and Blossom, Gus Leon-
ard and Schaefer and DeCamp.

one of the most brilliant in the history of
the Alliance Francalse, the theatre naturally
being one of the principal attractions. Mme.

marksman to do it, and not a pigmy -with a red nose. Breaking a glass ball
tromhls own head by shooting the trigger of another rifle placed opposite him.
Shooting and breaking two pieces of sugar placed on the head of an assistant
by simultaneously tiring two pistols— one In each hand. Passing bullets
through a linger ring held between the lingers by an assistant. Ooslng the

PER POUND IMPORTED FRENCH CONFETTI
We are Quoting this Price on
A DELAYED SHIPMENT OF 50.000 LBS.
Which was scheduled to arrive some six weeks ago, but was delayed in
transit. The French exporters realizing the lateness of the season cable-
gramed us to sell the confetti for their account at
■HMBHiS Cents the Pound>M»
This is a very Unusual Snap for Streetmen. For this confetti is
worth fully 50 per cent, more than the domestic goods. It is brighter in
colors, cleaner and stacks up very bulky ; a 5 cent package by weight, in ap-
pearence. looks as big as a 10 cent one of the domestic stuff. Send your
order early, for this lot won't last long.
A SPECIAL VALUE IN CONFETTI DUSTERS
The Confetti Duster we offer has no superior nor equal in the market, when
its make up, quality and size is considered. It is 16 inches long.

TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND THE PUBLIC: _,
During' the rapid westward march of civilization in America, coverlne the past liltj-
years, certain social conditions developed which had to be r. gulated and controlled by un-
usual methods. A lawless and criminal element almost Invariably accompanied the advance
guard of civilization, and to keep this element in check the law abiding citizens were com-
pelled to secretly organize themselves lor their own self protection, „_...
The "Vigilantes," during the gold excitement of 49. In California, and the White
Caps." of more recent years, in Ohio. Indiana and other Western States, are well known
organizations whi.-h dealt summarily with outlaws and the criminal classes in general.
We have portrayed, in Motion Pictures, in a most vivid and realistic manner, tne
methods empl >yed by the "White Caps" to rid the community of undesirable citizens.
As a soul-stirring melodramatic production it is undoubtedly the finest picture that has
ever been offered to our customers and the public, while the photographic quaMties and
beautiful moonlight and early morning effects must be seen to be appreciated.

edy audiences. There Is a plot and an inter-
esting storv runs through the entire perform-
ance, which is intensified by a number of dram-
atic situations. The story is satirical. It Is
aimed at the fashionable sanitarium. Two
brothers, the Doctors Brown, have established
headquarters in the Adirondacks. Their health
res;.rt flourishes, many wealthy peoph? being
"drawn to it by the blandishments of one of
the brothers, who appears to be. muck of a
promoter. The other brother proves to he an
honest physician, who devotes himself to ex-
periments in incubation, and supplies his brother
with his real knowledge of medicine- Clover
Brown, Miss Aug's part, is the daughter of
the honest physician. The scope of the play
is wide enough to introduce a number of mil-
lionaires, etc., and more especially to give
to the audience an example of sumptusus scen-
ery. A Four Leaf Clover will not go into New
York until the first of next month.
JACOB LTTT'S WILL
DeWOLF HOPPER
The will of Jacob LItt, whose death at
Yonkers, N. Y.. Sept. 27, was noted at length
in last week's issue of The Billboard, disposes
of an estate of almost a quarter of a million
dollars. The bulk of the property, of conrse,
goes to the testators' wife, Ruth Carpenter
Litt, and to their two sons, Jacob Litt, jr.,
and Wiilard D. Litt. Among a number of
special re-itiests is one of J5.000 to Alexander
W. Dingwall, who had been associated with the
theatrical manager for a number of years. Mr.
Litt refers to his surviving partner in the
following terms: "To my friend. Alexander- W,
Dingwall, of Milwaukee. $5,000. in reo-gnl-
tion of faithfnl work in my behalf, and as a
slight token of my esteem for him after many
years of intimate association."
Mr. Dingwall and Sol. Litt, nephew of the
deceased, were named as executors and trus-
tees of the estate.

Clover Brown Miss-Edna Aug
The Four Leaf Clover was- lQcky, and now
Edna Aug Is a star. Her versatility is amply
demonstrated In the fact that ' she imperson-
ated four widely different characters In the new
piece, scoring a personal hit, her reception
amounting to an ovation. Martha Morton, an-
thor of play and lyrics, was also present. She,
too, was warmly applauded, .and the new piece
was stamped with the seal of success.
Unlike most musical comedies, A Four Leaf
Clover is in four acts. A. Baldwin Sloane Is
responsible for the mnsic. which is catchy, and
of the kind m* st appreciated by mnslcal corn-
One of the most important openings of the
week of Oct. 2. was that of Viola Allen In
The Toast of The Town, which occurred Mon-
day evening at Smith's Theatre, Bridgeport,
Conn. The company was cast as follows:
Mistress Betty Singleton.... Viola Allen
Mistress Roxana Isabel Irving

In Mistress Betty Singleton. Clyde Fitch is
said to have given Miss Allen a role snitnble
to her talents, and one In which she can safely
bid for high honors at the hands of a critical
metropolitan audience. Miss Allen is very ably
supported, especially by her new leading man.
A. E. Anson, in the role of the Dnke of
Marmshnrr. Isabel Trving scored a personal
cess as Mistress Roxana.
The Toast of The Town is a four-act comedv
of life in Georgia. It nnfolds a nlot In which
southern characters move and live In char-
acteristic southern style. It abounds with clever
dialogue and' manv interesting situations, and
is well staged and costumed.
NO TRUTH IN RUMOR
The Crossing, the new four-act play by Whi-
ton Churchill and Louise E. Sbipman, received
its premiere Monday evening, Oct. 2. at the
Euclid Avenue Opera House, Cleveland, Ohio.
The company was cast as follows:
Nicholas Temple... ......... ....John Blair

The success of The Crisis win be duplicated
In the new play if the reception at the hands
of the first night audienee is at all sugges-
tive. The play made an Immediate hit. The
fashionable theatre was filled to its capacity
with one of the most aristocratic audiences
seen In Cleveland for many years, John Blair,
Mabel Bert, Violet Honk and Arthur R. Law-
rence all scored personal successes, and were
enthusiastically applauded by the Interested
audience.
The Crossing tells a plain story of the early
days of New Orleans, when Louisiana was a
Spanish province and inhabited mostly by
Frenchmen. As the play unfolds, it reveals
the American Invasion and its many exciting
incidents. The play Is well staged, and the
entire production has been put on In an elab-
orate manner.
It Is understood that Mr. Dan R. Hanna Is
financially interested in the production as he
was in The Crisis. Mr. and Mrs. Kendall
have secured the English rights to The Cross-
ing.
Relative to the opening. The Billboard's
correspondent writes as follows:
Not within the memory of the "First
Nighters" has there been such persistent ap-
plause within the portals of the Opera House
as greeted the opening performance of Win-
ston Churehill*e The Crossing- The people
would not 1< t go and one burst of enthusiasm
lasted fully ten minutes. The audience went
wild and insisted upon a speech from the
anthor. But Mr. Churchill hid himself in the
uttermost corner of a stage box and refused
to be drawn out. Mr. Churchill and Mr. Ship-
man have built a play that is strong, excit-
ing and interesting. it has the faults of all
book-bLilt plays, but after it Is pruned 1
-venture to say that It will be one of the most
popular plays of the season. The plot of the
play is a charming mixture of love and duels.
The love making of John Blair and Violet
Honk is very real and natural and the aud-
ience Is held breathkss during the acting of
their beautiful lines together. Miss Mable
Burt's Mrs. Temple is artistic and admirably
done. The stage settings and local color are
well attended to and it is a real pleasure to
see the accuracy with which every costume is
finished with historical care. The entrances
and exits are handlt-d in a way that points
to Mr. Sliipman as a playwright of the first
order, who never missed a dramatic possibil-
ity. As a whole, the play made a substan-
tial impression.
It has developed throngh later advices that
there was no trnth absolutely In the rnmors of
rne filching of tickets from Upper Sandnsky.
Ohio, recently.
The fact that a similar occurrence In Bal-
timore, a week earlier, created considerable ex-
citement, probably gave rise to the stories from
Fpner Ssndnskv.
The Billboard has ascertained that the treas-
urer of the Anditorlnm in T T pner Sandusky is
n respected employee of the house, who has
filled his present csnaeltv for n number of
years with an absolutely clean record.

The Billboard
0, JOHNNY RAY
How Did You Like the
Ball Game?
You Certainly Know how to Dance and
Sing- but Playing Ball is Another
Thing.— Sh-h-h, ask the
Brewers.
It is getting to be the popular thing for the-
atrical aggregations that have a "pong ehong*
for baseball, to get into a match with the
semi-professional team maintained by the
Weldemann Brewing Co.. of Newport, Ky.
Easy to con the actor man into this game be-
cause, as a baseball proposition the Brewers
look easy if you say it quick. That's what
Johnny Ray and his Down the Pike team
thought when the thing was pot up to them;
but ttat-y had another think coming after they
bad faced the Brewers on the Newport grounds
Tuesday, Oct. 3.
Don't conclude from this, dear reader, that
Johnny Ray and his Pikers can't play 'ball:
they csn, and pretty fast baU, too. Take
Johnny himself: he looks like a ball player;
as a coach he has 'era all heat a block, aud.
when It comes to registering a life-size kick
on the umpire, be Is all the goods.
But the game: The day was Ideal and the
grand »tand was crowded. All tbe memt>er*
of the Ray Company and - many other pro-
fessionals were there with horns and a band.
Here's the lin .--up in batting order:
Wiedemann — Huling, S3.; Cook, I. f.; Gra-
ham, c. f; Osier, lb; Fablbusn, p.; Wag-
ner, 2b.; Drees, 3b.; Julian; c; Ashbaugb, r. f.
Johnny Ray — 'Xelmeyer c. f.; Flugy, 1. f.;
Ray, lb.; Powers, ss.; P«-nny. 3b.; Rosco. r. f.;
Murphy, 2b.; Worden, c; Roulins. p.
Johnny Ray and his Pikers went first to bat.
N'lemey^r got his first bag on balls, but before
he could work around to third Klugy. Ray and
Powers had struck out and tbe side was re-
tired. The Br. wers then took an Inning and
pounded out four runs. It was quickly devel-
oped that the battery for the Brewers was too
strong for the Actors who seem nnable to find
FahlbuBb's balls, but they managed to bit blm
now and then. Worden touched him up for
three bags in the last inning and Johnny Ray
himself rappvd out a single every once In
awhile.
Ray's work on first base was the feature of
the game and his most spectacular play was
when te caught Osier napping and sat <3o\vn
on him. Roulins tried to steal home from
third in the fifth Inning and was surrounded by
the Brewers' entire team before be was
stopped.
A timely finish was put to the proceedings
when the Brewers piled op fourteen tuns
against six for .Ray and bis Pikers. All hands
thfn adjourned to the Rathskeller at Wied-
emann's where refreshments were served to th»*
tired and thirsty players and rooters.
When the br.-w had been sufficiently sam-
pled the brewery was Inspected by the thes-
plans, who generously concluded that the Brew-
ers could have the pleasure of defeating them
every time they came to Cincinnati If tliey
want to.

f'icts in the life of the Irishman, but what
the story lacks in history it makes up In In-
terest,- and. -the Majestic audience continually
ili'inonstrated Its approval of the performance.
'Ir. Olcott first makes his npppenrance as a
tutor in a nobleman's family. He falls in

ter Is abducted by the Prince of Wales and the

TWO NEW VAT/DEVIX-LB ACTS

and both Mr. Dlxey and Carlotta Nillson
were warmly received. Mr. Dixey appears
in the role of the at first unsuccessful l.iver.
Lieut. Warbnrton. He conceives the idea of
changing places with the fair lady's coach-
man, which position he maintains nntll be has
succeeded in winning the object of his affec-

atization by Grace Livingston Furniss of Harold
McGrath's story of the same name. The popu-
lar novel scored a hit In its new stage dress,
and it will undoubtedly prove a successful ve-
hicle for Mr. Dixey.

The name of the anthor doesn't appear on
the bill, but the James H. Wallick Amusement
Co. is the producer of the new thriller, minus
the strenuous blood and thunder scenes. The
action of the play Is laid In New York a little
over a year ago. The audience Is first taken
to the top floor of a tenement in Tompkins'
Square then through East Side, to Madison
avenue, and are allowed to view some thrilling
scenes In the Tombs and the ofllce ot a mid-
wife.
As the heroine. Lillian Volkman appeared as
Lena Hope, and succeeded in bringing rounds
of applause from the audience. As the rich
coffee broker, Henry Bennett (Harry B. Ey-
tinge) did those things which the villain only
can do. She Dared Do Right made a hit with
Jm?" American's clientele.

BOOSTS FBOK BROOKLYN
Brooklyn as a Show town "certainly am a
growin' ", v and there are more than twenty
theatres open there to-day. which speaks well
for the City of Churches. The burlesque houses
are well pa tronized. and Archie KBls, the popu-
lar manager, now holds forth at the Star. He
is most genial and; Is a favorite with the news-
paper men. ; Sufficiency. ; The houses are al-
ways crowded, and Mr. Ellis is a hustler.
. Hyde & Behman have taken great delight
in ; their new onlces, and Mr; Richard Hyde - to
an- example of the strenuous life: an per Boose-
veltlan Ideas. He Is an indefatigable worker;
and thinks - nothing of -spending even twenty-
four hours engrossed in theatrical affairs. HIb
theatres this year- have been unusually success-
ful, and be Is the ruling power. He peraonaUy
looks after the detail as well as the gigantic
side of the questions, consequently his suc-
cess. ;:--;■-
To know him Is to admire him. Yes— that Is
so. Who is be? Wnyv George ^Ilddleton ■ of
the Grand Opera House, whose first: season has
been unusually successful. He is a weB known
theatrical man. and has a jolly personality.
He Is one of the "finds" of Hyde & Benman,
and verifies their keen Judgment. He is ever
on: the spot,- and it's the man that's there tbat *
gets the coin.
One of the most charming and polished diplo-
mats In the theatrical business Is Bennett F.
Wilson, and his hosts of friends are ever en-
deavoring to express their ; appreciation of him
lh.some manner. I He la one of the truly "an- ;
gelic" men.
Sam. Cohan of the New Montauk Is a host-
ler, and no mistake. He has ; proved It in the
instance of the New Montauk and no matter -
what time you go there, yon wUl find him;
Johnny: on the; spot. ; He; even sleeps there, ;
some of bis employees claim, so attentive Is he;
to the theatre. The opening was a gigantic >,
success.--"
Can they hand them out? Hand what outl
All star bills. Where? Unanimously— Percy
'Williams's: Orphemn. ; Tbey have the, topliners;
even atV the beginning of the programme, and
you surely can't beat that. Percy Williams Is
from Missouri and they certainly have not
shown; him as yet.
Lee C. TeUer Is a winner and the five best
bets are his. He has the best shows In town,
and he selects them with tbe keenness of a
sure enough man. Crowded houses tbe result.
He Is a jolly, good-hearted manager, and has
many. : many friends ; in Brooklyn.
Cant't beat 'em. The flre women at the
Bijou; are winners, and they vare very far the
most successful to date. Mrs. Mary Glbbs
Spooner. director, of the Bijou Is playing to
"Standing Room Only," while her daughters, the
Misses Edna May and Cecil Spooner, are se-
lecting splendid plays and playing them equally
well. whUe Miss Cora E. Morlan Is carefully
attending to; the 'business end - of theb theatre,
and is a keen financial woman. Suppose some
of these days, we will see an article abont her
in the Frenzied Finance series now so prom-
inent. Last, but not ; least, the lady that
keeps them In the limelight of the news-
papers. Miss Marie V- Fitzgerald, should not
be forgotten. Poor men. you had better look
out with these feminine hustlers in the fleW.
Mr. Lew Parker, who for a number of years
was manager of the Grand: Opera House for;
Hyde & Behman, has been selected by The
Shubert Company to manage the Park Theatre
In Brooklyn. Mr. Parker is weU known In
the theatrical world, and the Sbuberts could
not; have selected a better man for their man-
ager.
Mr. W. C. Frldley of the Majestic Theatre
announces the first appearance of The Four
Mortons in Breaking Into Society In Brooklyn
at his house during the week of Oct. 9. This
show made a big hit In New York last week,
and Is sure to do well in Brooklyn. Mr. Percy
G. WlUiams, our Brooklyn big vaudeville fac-
tor, is -the owner of the attraction.
Brooklyn Is proud of Its veteran manager.
Nick Norton, who is manager of Hyde & Beh-
man's Theatre. For over forty years Mr. Nor-
ton has been constantly managing theatres, and
connected with amusement -enterprises. He
is no doubt tbe best posted show man In
Brooklyn, and that Is why he Is with Hyde *
Behman. Mr. Nick Norton's careful selections
of acts and management or the theatre, have
made Hyde & Behman tots of money.
Harry Tndor. 'who -has managed Bostncfc's
Wild Animal Show at Coney Island dnrlng the
absence of Mr. Bostock In Paris, has been
presented with a silver loving eup by the
employes of the show.
Simon Boblnson. the treasurer of tbe Nas-
sau Theatre, is coming to the front very rap-
Idlv. To-day, he Is probably the youngest
treasurer In Brooklyn, and. with hls'hard work
and coaching from his brother Dave, he will be
a winner. The management at this theatre has
recentlv appointed him press representative,
in addition to his being treasurer, as he Is alw»
a clever newspaper man. GEO. H. HAKES.

, Sam Myers tells me he Is leading an awful
Ufe promoting Lro Feist's publications night
ana day- Results talk: and Sun is certainly
cWrect in this statement, for from innnm r-
able performers comes the news — delightful
news at that— that Can't You See I'm Lonely
is proving the band-g tter or their careers.
Among those snccessfplly featuring Lonely we
might mention The Peerless Quartet. Dorothy
Drew. Hardy Langdon. Mack & Dngal. Bonnie
Gaylor, Louise Frost. LonL«e Strebllns and
others. Arthur Hahn. Chicago's talent d fcar-
ttone, was tendered quite a flattering UttTe re-
ception at the Washington Park Athletic Meet
last week, occasioned *y his brilliant rendi-
tion of Can't Yon S" e, etc. Felix Adler. con-
sldered' one of Chicago's best all-around enter-
tainers, is creating much demand for the same
puMii-atlon. Yankee Grit and Yankiana (quite
a profusion of Yank here) continue to be
Feist's big sellers, locally. Chicago is flooded
with telegrams reading as follows: 'To 1
Wantcher. care Theatre, City: Can't You See
I'm Lonely? Be at music store to-night. Ima
Hltt," and upon the back thereof appears a
full thematic of the chorus of the song. This,
I find on investigation, is some more of Sam's
clever exploitation of Feist's latest saddle
horse. McKay &; Fredericks report a big suc-
cess with Didn't Father Adam Have An Easy
Time, published by the same house.

sional business according to Manager Thomp-

It seems like old times— the rare and fair

CHAS. B. WARD
■'-.'■-:"■*. ..
In the days of the old Imperial Music Hall
(It Broadway anil 30th St.. Xew York City.
Chas. B. Ward first came into prominence. It
was Allan Dale who in describing his inter-
pretation of the Bowery Boy save iilm credit
for his impersonation and treatment which
served to warrant his adoption of tlie title
which he has since maintained as the orig-
inal Bowery Boy. Mr. Ward is this season ap-
peariufr in burlesque, heinjr f-.ntured with
the Alcazar Bnrlesquers in the Empire Win el.
among them being Making Eves. What You
Goto' to Do When the Rent Comes 'Round?
Just .Across the Bridge of Gold.- I'm the Onlv
Star That Twinkles on Broadwav. Wait Till
the Sun Shines, Nellie and On the Hanks of the
Rhine With a Stein, all by Andrew B. Ster-
ling and Harry Von Tllzer. Since his arrival
here a week ago. Jules' has had his apartments
packed with performers, and it is a foregone
conclusion before he leaves the Windy Citv
lie will have created for the honse he 're pre-
.^nts a big business, .both professionally and
from a sales standpoint. Will liked by the
performers and trade alike, there is no reason
why he shouldn't make a big and fast ten-
strike in Chicago, and all the reason in the
world why he should, wlun one takes into
.consideration' bis charming personality, his wide
and; genuine popularity, and the original and
exceptionally clever catalogue he has to work
on.
Among the announcemt nts for the coming
season are two that will attract especial atten-
tion among concert-goers for the reason that
varied programs are to be offered Sunday af-
ternoons, which hitherto have been given over
entirely to Individual recitals, these having
been offered every week last winter. One set
of cone rts will be offered at the Illinois
Theatre by the Chicago Bureau Agency of Mu
sie. the other will be those played by Innes'
Band In Orchestra Hall. The engagement of
Inns is to begin Oct. IS, and is announced
to continue until further notice. The band
consists of sixty well-chosen players, who will
be assisted by vocal and instrumental soloists.
The following from the bouse of Will Rossi-
ter: "Our two new numbers. Don't Forget
Your Dear Old Dad and I'll Be Back In a Min-
ute But I Got to Go Now. by Herbert Ingra-
ham. are the easiest songs to land witii the
profession we ever published. Thev will be
used by Gibson & .Nash. Edward Goody. Cro-
Hns & Alva and Lew Dockstad r. Captlvatln'
Sue is rapidly coming to the front. It is the
work of Chas. E. ilulliu. who will be remem-
bered as the composer of Silence and Fun and
The Man With The Jingle. Mr. Mullln is now
associated with Mr. Rorelter as professional
man . and his work thus far has sur-
passed our most sanguine expectations. Will
Dickey and Master Rocco Vocco. the boy bar-
itone, are singing Sunny Song> at the popu-
lar priced theatres this month, and mei t.'n-i
with the greatest success."
Victor Herbert, composer of the scores of
The Singing Girl. The Fortune Teller, It
illapp:ned in Nordland and Alice and the Eight
Princesses (the latter now being presented at
the Grand here), has the following to say re-
garding Europ. an and American music: "Some
twenty years ago when I first came to this
country as a 'cello soloist and appeared on the
concert platform, anany people wondered what
kind of an Instrument I was bringing for-
ward, and actually expressed surprise that it
was simply a musical Instrument. Now all
that is changed- In every small town in the
United States and Canada can be found a cote-
rie of music lovers. "Orchestras flourish every-
wlvre. and from these ranks are taken indi-
viduals who have become prominent In the mu-
sic world. And yet we are behind the coun-
tries of Europe from the fact that we have few
who foster the arts as on the other side. For
Instance, Wagner would never have developed
into the mighty giant he is now consld red
had it not- been for the patronage of King
Ludwig of Bavaria. He encouraged him and
stimulated him at the period of his greatest
depression. Haydn, the fatter of symphony,
had the same protection. He himself said
that had It not been for the protection of
Prince Esterhazy most of his great composi-
tions would not have been written. The prince
provided him with an orchestra of suitable
Size for the production of his efforts, gup-
ported It and kept it together constantly; In-
deed, It was part of the prince's household,
and Haydn thus had the necessary incentive
to write. This is why I say America is still
behind the continental countries in respect to
caring for art in a general way. Capital is
massed more in this country, and its influ-
ence on art has not been distributed as it
eventually will he. In Germany and Austria,
parts of Russia and France, theatres are sup-
ported either by the municipality or by . weal-
thy art lovers. Some day this will be true
in Am, rica for wherever I go I see a healthy
awakening."

A BUDGET OF WITMARK NEWS
CARO ROMA, that sweet singer of
her own compositions as well as
those of other writers, will sing Res-
ignation, a beautiful creation of her
I>en, at the opening of the new thea-
tre in Yonkers, New 'York. Resignation is a
WItmark number.
Sam Bernard and The Rollicking Girl, who
are among the most popular attractions In New
York, have begun their last of six laughing
months at the Herald Square Theatre. Sam
Bernard maintains his lead as the fnnnleBt man
on the musical stage, and Hattle Williams re-
mains the undisputed queen in her line, sing-
ing her song bits. Tricks and Friends, to the
most enthusiastic audiences. The swing song,
Susan, Lovey Dovey and other novelties are
as mnch demanded as ever. These are all
WItmark publications.
The Thaler Sisters, Tyroleans, are featuring,
as their English songs. Awake My Beloved,
Awake, and Good Night Beloved, Good Night.
Both are published by M. WItmark & Sons.
Lucy Linda Lady, a WItmark number. Is
being featured by the quartette In 'Way Down
East, which popular production will remain
at the Academy of Music, New York, this
"week and next, after which it goes to Cleve-
land. Ohio. Miss EsteUe Warde, the soprano
of the quartette, has started an undoubted
flood of enthusiasm in her favor, in New York,
by her good looks and vocal ability. The quar-
tette are doing ample justice to the song which
they have just added to their repertoire.
In his very latest stage achievement, Alice
and The Eight Princesses, the musical ex-
travaganza which, under Julian Mitchell's di-
rection, was given its first production in Buf-
falo, N. Y., on the 15th Inst.; Victor Herbert
has "scored" (In two senses of the word) an-
other undoubted success. The dainty, delight-
ful music which the great composer wrote for
this sumptuous entertainment Is fittingly mated
with the charming and appropriate lyrics from
Glen MacDonough's pen, and the production,
as a whole, has a. spectacular background which

By C. C. BARTRAM.
ISN'T it marvelous how the man-
agers of the theatres and mnsic halls of
London get along together? Just like one
big family — fightina, all the time. We
thought we bad seen the end of the "Sketch"
controversy. But, no! The flag of truce has
Deen hauled down, and both sides are prepar-
ing Tor renewed hostilities, and with increased
bitterness. As in 1008, the Palace has been
picked out by the Theatrical Managers' Asso-
ciation for the opening of the campaign. Man-
ager Alfred Butt has received a letter from
the Theatrical Managers' Association warning
him that If Geo. R. Sims' Review, which is
to be produced on the 25th of September, in-
fringes the Act of Parliament as a "stage
play," they will put the matter Into the hands
of their solicitor. The Act of Parliament re-
ferred to Is an old law* which was passed
In the days when music halls had (l not attained
to the dignity of vaudeville. Tuts worm-
eaten law Is now dragged forth to do a duty,
for which It was never Intended. There is no
doubt in anybody's mind that what are known
in England as "Sketches" or one-act plays (be
it comedy, spectacular, or dramatic) are Illegal
In the music halls, and that they are made
so by an old anachronism which exists only
through having been overlooked by the Eng-
lish legislators during their periodical feouse-
•cleanlng.
Jnst before the last Parliament, it was sug-
gested that a law be passed and substituted
for this old act, which would limit the music
hall sketch to thirty minutes and five char-
acters. TblB was agreed to by some of the
sketch people. Others, however, would listen
to no compromise, and have gathered nnder
the banner of "Free Trade in Theatricals,"
claiming It as the right of any manager to
produce whatever style of performance on his
stage that he sees lit. The Theatre man-
agers to this most naturally, reply, "All right,
yon produce stage plays in the music halls,
and we must be allowed to. permit smoking in
our auditoriums." And so . the question stands.
The theatre managers, jealous of the snccess
of the music halls, armed with a blunderbuss,
are trying to present the mnsic hall managers
from producing a style of performance for
which there is a decided demand In the halls,
but for which there la no demand In the
theatres.
At one time the theatre managers themselves
produced "sketches." "reviews" and similar
entertainments as "double" and "treble" bills,
but found that a "review" was too long for
a whole evenings entertainment. People grow
weary of It. Therefore, not having the nec-
essary facilities lor filling np the bill with
other Items, the theatres discarded the review,
etc., as a bad investment.
HISTORY OF REVIEWS
Miss Lottie Venne, who plays the
leading part In the coming Palace Review, was
In a short review done at the Court Theatre
in 1893. named Under The Clock. The famous
Happy Land at the same bouse twenty years
before was practically a review, and formed
part" of a "mixed" bill. Vestrio. sixty-seven
years back, did a review called The Drama's
Levee, or a Peep at The Past, at the Lyceum;
but the first piece of the class was Success, or
A Hit If You Like It, at the Adelphl In 1X25.
Two decades later at the Haymarket, Plancbe
did another named the Drama at Home,
wherein such famous people as Charles Math-
ews. Prlcllla Horton (afterwards Mrs. Ger-
man Reed) and the great Mrs. Glover ap-
peared. The monopoly of the "legitimate"
drama by the large houses and the restric-
tions upon the "minor" theatres had been
abolished a short time previously, and "free
trade" in amnsement was established. In
addition. The Golden Fleece of Planche sug-
gested by a performance of Antigone, The New
Planet, with Burkstone playing and the still
living Miss Reynolds, in 1840: Bnckstone's
Ascent of Mount Parnassus, and Webster at
Home in Adelphl Fare of Three Removes and a
Dessert were all reviewers. Then Mr. rhillp
Tork presented a very ambitious review at
the Tivoll only a few years since and without
Interference. So what reason then, other than
jealousy of the snccess of the halls can be
Put forward by the theatre manager for this
renewed action? Unless it is, too, that the
Theatrical Managers' Association — largely com-
posed of the lessees of provincial playhouses,
who have undoubtedly felt very Beverely the
competition of the music halls— and are dis-
posed to take advantage of the strict letter of
the law in order to deprive the provincial halls
of one of their moae Important classes of at-
tractions, and therefore, in tills action are aim-
ing at the provinces over London's shoulder.
Nor are the theatrical managers all on the
monopoly side, for George Edwardes says,
"What can it hurt Mr. Tree if music halls do
a three hour's drama? Can they do it as well
as he can? If they can he must give way — Inn
they can't. Let them give musical spectacular
shows. If they can do it : better than we can
at Daly's or the Gaiety, they will beat us — but
they can't.
"On the other hand, it must be free trade
all around. If Mr. Tree wants to have smoking
at Her Majesty's, let him have it. If I want to
have smoking In the stalls at Daly's, let me
have It. It will make me a bankrupt, that Is
certain, but let me do it, if I want to. I
might like to be able to allow smoking in cer-
tain parts of the Gaiety, which draws a dif-
ferent audience — so why shouldn't I?
"But all this quibbling as to whether six or
the laws of supply and demand. Therefore,
a ten per cent, increase in the supply must
cause a proportionate decrease in the demand,
resulting in a reduction of prices; but, as the
artist justly argues, the figures are even
greater. A sketch seldom runs less than
twenty-five minutes, which means the time
of at least two turns is occupied, thus reduc-
ing the demand twenty Instead of ten per
cent. Further, a sketch, to work out even the
thinnest plot, must have the full time for
which it ..was written, and this can not be
much under half an hour. This means, in
the: two-houses-a-nlght system, that each music
iiall turn proper must get through their acts
in less time to allow full time for the sketch,
so that a turn which usually runs fifteen mtn-
utes must do their act In ten minutes, and a
ten minute turn is . cut down to five min-
utes.
How difficult it Is for a performer to "make
good" in the short time allowed to the aver-
age turn In the two-a-nlght houses is well
known to; most American acts that have played
in England. And when all this is considered
together with the fact that the sketch people
ire all drawn from the theatres, or outside the
usual supply of musical talent, it Is not to be
wondered at that the mnsic ball artists, as
KATE CONDON
APPEARING XK THE LEADING FEMALE ROLE IN THE FIUBVSTEB.
only five characters shall be allowed In a music
hall sketch, and if it shaU be only twenty-five
minutes or only a quarter of an hour long —
all tbls is childish."
That there is a healthy demand for the
"sketch" is proven by the fact that one now
seldom sees a bill which does not announce one
or more, and often as top-line attractions.
When such writers as Sims, Grossmlth and Ja-
cobs turn their attention to the "halls," there
must be "something doing." for these writers
are not in the business for glory.
In one week the sketches produced for the
first time were The New Footman, The Love
Shop, Villon. What Railings Did. Two In The
Bush, Retribution, and Sal Hawkins, which
wonld probably not be more than the average
each week during the "season."
Considering the demand for "sketches,"
American writers should be careful to copy-
right their works In England, and "clinch"
that copyright by a "stage-right production,"
for I have only recently recognized several
sketches on the local "halls" for which some
American writer should be collecting royalty —
and be Isn't.
ANOTHER ASPECT
There is still another aspect of the
sketch question, and that from the point of
view of the mnsic hall performer. First and
foremost, the sketch figures as a competitor
In his particular market. At an average of
one sketch to each music hall programme, the
number of available turns is Increased ten per
rent. And nowadays there are few perform-
er* who are not thoroughly acquainted with
body, are rather on the side of the Theatrical
Managers' Association in this controversy than
on the side of the music hall managers.
AH ARGUMENT FOR SKETCHES
Of course, there is an argument for
the sketches, as well as against. Anyone who
has watched the progress of the vaudeville
theatre in America, since it was first devel-
oped from the older variety, will know that
the theatrical "sketch" played by theatrical
people has drawn a considerable amount of
patronage away from the theatres. Whether,
however, the sketches have or have not In-
creased the patronage of the vaudeville thea-
tres, in proportion as they have Increased the
supply of turns and the time occupied; In
other words, whether they have created their
own audiences, is a question not so easy to
solve. But whether or no, the sketches have
Improved the variety business for variety per-
formers, still the latter look upon the former
as unwelcome Intruders, and blame the man-
agers for engaging them simply because "they
are cheap and .filling."
In all probability the first case that will
be heard in the Courts as a result of this
newly inaugurated crusade of the Theatrical
Managers' Association will be heard on Sept,
30, on which date the managers of the Isling-
ton Empire have been summoned for allow*
ing the performance of a sketch, entitled Our
Curate.
Manager Butt, of the Palace, says of the
warning of T. M. A.: "I am trying to
do everything in my power to keep my Revues
The theatrical managers say that if we In-
fringe the Act of Parliament they will prose-
cute us for producing a stage play. I con-
tend that it is not a stage play; there is no
connected plot through it. and. although on
the first few nights it may run over the time
suggested, it has been my deterralnaUon to
get it down to the limit recommended.
"It would be exceedingly unfair and a re-
striction of trade if the theatrical managers
are going to prosecute the Palace whilst they
allow much more elaborate productions to go
on elsewhere. We do not want to do any-
thing which can be regarded as .unfair to
the theatre managers. We are merely trying
to give the public a fresb and original en-
tertainment."
PREMIERE OF DICK HOPE
The premiere of Dick Hope with
which Mr. and Mrs. KendaU opened their Lon-
don season, took place on Saturday last at
the St. James*. Dick Hope is essentially a
triumph for the actor though hardly a triumph
for the playwright. Rarely has Mr. Kendall
had so good an opportunity as be has in the
character of the ; hero, and, although Mrs. Ken-
dall found in the heroine no special occasion
for the exercise of her supreme artistic gifts,
she used to full such chances as were put in
her way. On Dick Hope, the good-tempered
drunkard, the man who had most of the vir-
tues of manliness except the power of self-
control, and on Marjorie Lyall, the gentle,
kindly, warm-hearted woman, who was apt to
find herself la C the wrong position simply
owing to an innate tendency to self-sacrifice—
on these two characters the. whole burden of
the play rested. Without them it would. In-
deed, have been poor stuff. But the result
was an undoubted success, for, whatever may
have been the deficiencies of the story, those
who Interpreted to us Its principal characters
brought to their task so fine a sense of dram-
atic effect and such Interesting Individuality
that we forgot everything else In the triumph
of the : actors. After each act the applause was
enthusiastic, and at the fall of the final cur-
tain' there was no question that certain human
and emotional elements in the play had touched
the imagination of the audience, and made a
masterful appeal to their sympathies.
THEATHE FEAHCAIS IN L0HD0H
The arrangements for a permanent
French .theatre in London provide for a novel.
scheme,, which win be completed during the
next few weeks.
The playhouse favored for this Theatre Fran-
cais in London is the Royalty, which pos-
sesses many advantages for such an experi-
ment. It is in the heart of the French quar-
ter, ( it is weU known to. all Continental visi-
tors to the capital, and it is, in size, just the
bijou theatre that the venture requires at Its
initial stage.
If the negotiations are satisfactorily car-
ried out, Mme. Rejane will star with a six
weeks' or a two months', season in the com-
ing, winter.
'ANGEL TJKAWABES WITHDRAWS
Miss Fanny Brough has taken the
sensible course in accepting the verdict of the
public, and, of course, that offered by the box-
offlce r^^urns, on An Angel Unawares in de-
ciding to withdraw the piece at the end of this
week.-.
Advantage has been taken of the conclu-
sion of the run of An Angel Unawares by
Mr. Weedon Grossmlth to secure Terry's for
the transference of The Duffer from the Comedy
where Mr. William Collier and company are
due on Wednesday next to open In On The
Quiet. I.-
AUSTRIAN OPERA
There is a Question of a short sea-
son of Austrian light comic opera in London
by a company from Vienna next summer. .A
local Journalist says that the promoters seem
to have been Inspired by the fact that King
Edward during his recent stay at Marlenbad,
always attended the theatre when an Aus-
trian comic opera was performed, and his ex-
ample was soon followed by the other ; Eng-
lish visitors.
TAKES WELCH LEASES THEATRE
It is announced that Mr. James
Welch, the popular comedian, has acquired a
Westend Theatre, for a long period, and will
assume the management at the beginning of
next year, when he proposes to produce a se-
ries of new plays.
THE LIFE OF A SHOWMAN
The Life of a Showman, produced
at the Dalston Theatre this week. Is a play
on somewhat novel lines, combining very clev-
erly the qualities of drama and variety. The
authors are Messrs. Chas. Darren and George
Testo Santa.
THE HICKS
The playhouse in Shaftesbury ave-
nue in which Mr. Seymour Hicks and Mr.
Frohman are Interested Is. after all. to be
called The Hicks, a title suggestive of dlffl-
cultles with the aspirate among the Londo^
cabmen
BEERBOHM TREE'S PLANS
At the conclusion of the run of
Oliver Twist at His Majesty's, Mr. Tree wul
produce a great spectacular play, entitled Nero,
within the limits upon which the theatrical which in turn will be followed by Joan or Are
managers were recently willing; to •ompromise. ' with Miss Viola Tree in the title role.

WILTON I/ACKATE and I sat
In his window at the St. Francis
and talked about bis wit. Bat
of coarse that was not the first

; wondered.easually. If the actor, trained to' clever

;todian of the art : of ^conversation, now that

prompt "Yes.'*- As well as one of the wit-
tiest^ Lackaye ;Is :tbe straightest talker I know.
:;In some ^absent-minded: moment he may have
flattered himself,; but. never any one else. He
is stini shall read.
"Yes,^; be said, Vthe actor is about the

: are /pleased : to- : call -,the art of . conversation.
■ TEhe- ae tor l ives : ixi v epigram — because- he works

"Yob may remember." he went on, "when

- had met there. ;--Mri: Harrison was sincere and
: truthful; : but he overlooked a point: when the

"And the actor?'* I asked.
. : He smiled In his curled mustache. "Oh. the
factor: says It;:: and then tells bis press agent.
With results already narrated." He smiled
---again, -but -the subject was gripping him. for
directly he lighted his cigarette, he declared
: : himself: .in/ ns:
"Have you noticed how few people that
write well talk well?— and the converse Is
- true,: -; too. '-And ; don't - you know it's a fact
that people who talk in epigram and balance
their sentences /frighten: hair the people that
go to dinners and bore the rest?"
I nodded assent and tried to look like a
man of the world.
"And,** be came in strongly, "that's where
the actor Is different. Caring nothing for fad
or ; fonn. :: he : wirfv take a chance at saying
something clever, even at the risk of parting
the party In the middle. Whereas the aver-
age 'fat and greasy; citizen* says: 'I want to
eat my dinner quietly. I don't want to be
all the: wane; :on a mental:: Jump.***
"I should imagine,*^ said 1, "that what com-
monly is called the brilliant dinner exists
from your point of view—- only on the stage — ?"
"Well," Lackaye compromised,:: **we can't be
funriy to order. That reminds me of a story
on Beck, one of the managers of the Orpheum
Vaudeville Circuit. A man applied to him
for an engagement.
" 'What can yon do?* said Beck.
" "I'm a comedian," said the applicant.
" 'Then make; me- laugh.* : said Beck.
"It's an sawful proposition when yon are
dared to produce laughter other than your
own," Mr, Lackaye commented.
"But among- themselves actors usually are
eager for the phrase,' aren't they?" I Ques-
tioned- : :.:.: :/
"Yes, most actors Die it," he answered.
"They like It; they learn it. After a while
phrase-making becomes a habit: it's almost
subconscious. But I've observed that most
people who are accused of verbal brilllancv
have good memories and a certain ability lb
renovating old: gags."
"And after all." I said, "does it pay to be
a gratuitous wit? — to spear 'em with a Jest?"
"Epigrams never are popular with the fel-
low- on ^the point of the spear." He paused
after that epigram,; Inviting another ques-
;:- tion.. : :::
I had to talk. "Lackaye." I said. "I'm
chatting with you because I share the popnlar
superstition that proclaims you a wit Yon
are a witty man. You can't assume that you
:are-:not a; witty-man.**
"I've heard it; I've heard it." he replied
wifhont;::: pain— -simply— ever so honestly; "but
;1 have-aiwlder -reputation as a nasty man.
■It aU; comes- of telling the truth as you see
it— or as yon say It A fellow came" t« me
one night in the Iambs, and told me that I
was leaving a train of enemies behind me

; that:: L ; assumed: : that ■ f eTlows in a club like
tie Lambs*: know that things are said not with
bitterness, but simply for the langh. 'In

everybody." and neither' of us: Is: on the level.*
"The man I was talking to Is; the club's
- champion: Jollier- .and-blesser. -- I; went so far
as to write an epitaph on him."
"Out with it!"
Mr. Lackaye twisted a new kink in his
mustache while he retreated into his mem-
pry. In a few seconds he recited slowly:
; Stop, stranger, here and drop a tear—
That is. if yon can find one.
He never said a cruel thing
And never did a kind one.
I don't think that Bleree or Pope would
lament if their signatures were annexed to
that. But to go on wltb Wilton Lackaye' s
prose —
He laughed like a boy. He liked it as well
as 1 did. "Isn't that." he laughed, "Isn't that
a good epitaph for a God-bless- yuu chap?
"There are lots of those God-bless-yous."
he pursued, while I continued to chortle.
"Jlmmie Britt, the prizefighter, saw a few 01
them in that photograph 'The Examiner' pub-
lished of his knockout by Battling Nelson.
In that photograph the Brltts detected a lot
of God-blesa-you-Jimmle fellows lauguiug ai
Jimmie's defeat. I shouldn't like to have my
laugh in that picture and then meet a Brici
on a dimly lighted street."
"Why is the pickle so poignant in your na-
ture. Wilton?" said I, warming.
"The pickle!"
"Weil, call it torpedoes or acid."
He took acid.
"What I say is merely observation plus
myself. I don't feel acidulous. These tricks
of life are funny to me. I haven't a tragic
livcr. I look on life as a comedy, and 1
suppose I'm a cynic."
"What's a cynic?" said I.
"A cynic," said be, measuring his words,
making the phrase perfect, "I think a cynic
is a man that is clever enough to see thiDgs
as they are and ass enough to say so."
A new cigarette put a period to that. Then
he continued:
"Personally I've never met a man who is a
cynic in expression who is not kindly in
fact. Sydney Grundy, who is a cyulc de-
fended himself in his play of The Silver Shield.
I gave you the line twelve years ago: let me
give it to you again: "A cynic is a poor fool
who puts into words the harshness that wise
men put into their deeds, and into, deeds the
kindness that wise men put into their words."
Lackaye gloated over that bit of Grundy.
"Isn't it a perfect sentence? — apart from the
thought — hasn't it the wonderful balance?"
And we clean forgot shop, and went skipping
along from author to author,' from ,wif to
wit; and finally to newspapers.
There you have Wilton, Lackaye's microbe.
He is the best newspaper ..reader. I know. He
reads a paper from '.editorial.^: to-'* ads. He

out of the merchant or* the pork packer or the
roaring attorney. I mjght 'be more polite and
say that those and I do not keep the same
hours. The hoars of the newspaper man are
almost like mine. We play while others sleep.
We both deal in words. 1 read newspapers be-
cause newspaper men have Interested me in
their worki. ' And I like a .good newspaper."
"Define.it," said I.
"A ' good newspaper," replied the actor,
"should be what .newspapers claim to be. It
should have a policy, not a policy founded on
catering to any special class, but one that
upholds fine ideals and stands for the right
without fear or favor. And all the news! I
have noticed that as soon as a paper gets an
overabundance of high class It doesn't have
enough reporters to dig and write the news.
I believe In printing all the Jegitimate news.
I dont' believe that any man in the conduct
of ids business — newspaper or otherwise — should
do anything in a professional capacity which
he has to apologize for In his private -rela-
tions. That includes critics."
"Define the good one," I demanded.
"Knowledge plus sympathy," he flashed.
"And minus cynicism?" I suggested.
"Not at all necessary. Cynicism does not
exclude sympathy." And he was quite se-
rious about it.
I said that he had yet to define the good
actor.
He brooded ten seconds, then slowly dic-
tated:
"Talent, technique, and an ideal."
"How about the size of the head?"
"Oh, I don't think egotism hurts anybody,"
l.ackaye laughed.

and assembly rooms of the B. P. 0. Elks,
Fifty-ninth street and Eighth avenue, Colum-
hos Circle, New York City, Wednesday evening,
N'ov. 1. The entertnment is to be nnder the
auspices of the G. A. B. Posts, Sons ot Vet-
erans, Army and Navy Union, Spanish War
Veterans, and their Ladles' Auxiliaries, and
numerous friends and theatrical people. Among
other features there is to be a big vaudeville
feast under the direction of John P. Hogan,
assisted by J. Norcross, Paul Dresser, Ren
Shields and Fred Niblo. On the commltte of
arrangements are Tony Pastor, Lloyd W. Bing-
ham. Gus Hill. Harry Sanderson, Col. A. T.
Brown, Prank Melville, James Curtain, Win.
Maber, and Ed. Bull. Major Bnrk Is secre-
tary of the White Rats of America.
The above is as excellent likeness of Cheva-
lier DeLoris, who has perfected one of the
: greatest drawing acts ever seen on auy stage.
i Mr. DeLoris' act consists of artistic, and, above
all, expert shooting, which has won for him
' the title of the greatest of all marksmen. De-
- Loris makes his appearance on the stage with
' two assistants, and proceeds to do fancy
shooting, one of the assistants holding up min-
iature clay balls which are broken between his
fingers. The marksman then goes to the bal-
cony from where he extinguishes with light-
ning rapidity twelve candles, arranged six is
a row upon the stage. Again on the atage
DeLoris passes bullets through finger rings
held between the fingers of an assistant. Shoot-
ing twenty-five bnllseyes in nine seconds, an-
other of his feats, appears impossible, but it
Is made a fact by DeLoris. By that time the
audience is willing to concede that DeLoris'
claim to the title Is correct, but they are even
more astonished when be breaks a glass ball
placed on his head by shooting the trigger of
a gun placed opposite him on the stage. A
woman comes on the stage. She is qnlckly
disrobed by the marksman who shoots the but-
tons off her garments, the garters from her
limbs, and the jewels from her crown. Then
two pieces of sugar, placed upon her head, are
broken by two revolvers held by DeLoris, one
in' each hand. DeLoris then hits a bullseye
In the centre of a large American eagle, which
flaps Its wings, rings a gong and causes to
nnfold an immense American flag, besides pro-
during brilliant electrical effects. Upon his sec-
ond appearance DeLoris plays upon the Ar-
mored Piano, of which he is the inventw. Two
distinct songs, Yankee Doodle and Comin
Thro' The Rye are distinctly played by the
marksman, who shoots the discs representing
the keys. Real bullets are used, and there 1»
no fake attempted.
Mr. DeLoris scored a pronounced hit at the
People's Theatre In Cincinnati upon his ap-
pearance as a special feature durlug the en-
gagement of the Merry Maidens Co. His was
one of the greatest drawing acts ever seen in
Cincinnati.
DAVIS ENLARGES CIRCUIT
Will J. Davis, of Chicago, announces that he
has completed arrangements to build a theatre
in Logansport, Ind. Work will begin shortly,
so that the new theatre may open the first of
next season. The Chicago manager further an-
nounces that next season he will control thea-
tres in Lafayette and Mnncle. He now con-
trols the Jefferson Theatre in Goshen and the
Oliver and Auditorium theatres in South Bend.
BELASCO DETERMINED
There is some talk in San Francisco that
the Central Theatre may sbortly change inter-
ests. Fred. Belasco denies that such reports
are true. It is understood that Mr. Belasco's
firm holds the theatre under a lease from T.
B. McNeal, who has the theatre leased from
the owner, A. B. McCreery. Mr. Belasco's five
years' lease expires in a short time, bnt he
has the right of renewal with Mr. McNeal.
McNeal, however. It Is understood, 'has not
such a stipulation In his lease from the owner,
which would make it appear that Mr. Mc-
Creery would soon be In a position to lease
the house to other parties. Mr. Belasco main-
tains that he has sufficient grounds upon which
to bold the theatre, and that be Intends to do
so nnder all - circumstances. Mr. Belasca built
the Central.

CONCERNING UBS DOLLY DOLLARS
On. Monday, Oct. 9, or, more prop-
erly sjieaklng; dating Saturday night and Snn-
day,r;Lnls ; Glaser and her ; company will make
J the shortest; theatrical i jump on record, moving
from the Knlckerbock to the New Amsterdam,
a, distance of roar Broadway blocks and a loos;
halt block. In her ; ne w location Miss Glaser
win remain, two weeks, and then take to the
railroads for-; her- further transportation. ; Dur-
tegr her six weeks at the Knickerbocker Miss
Glaser has attracted splendid business, and
Miss Dolly DoUarg nag been accepted as pleas-
ant entertainment. Probably neither Manager
Dillingham himself; the authors, Victor Her-
bert .and Harry B. Smith, or Miss Glaser her-
self, would profess to have part in the pre-
sentation of a great attraction. For Miss Dolly
Dollars has been scolded by many who have
witnessed her stage displays. However, the
piece gives Miss Glaser abundant opportunity
to exhibit her personality; a personality which
seems to shave changed from the sweet and
modest Uttle girl who used to charm as when
stands Wilson stood sponser for her, to that
of a hoydentsh, self-possessed, aggressive wom-
an. To have ont with the troth, most of us
like the little girl of old, and most of us re-
gret, her passing, as the daughter of a soup-
enriched American In England to catch a
atled husband. Miss Glaser carries herself with
a high bead and flamboyant demeanor. Man-
ager Dillingham has made a beautiful produc-
tion, has costumed the large company '-, ex-
pensively- and In ..'< taste, and has chosen the
principals with good judgment. Carrie Perkins
Is conspicuous for . the cleverness of her por-
trayal of the new-rich matron, and Carter De
Haven, comes In for a great share . of the
honors through- his excellent work In a light
comedy part, which Introduces his graceful
and clever dancing. Melville Stewart's voice Is
heard to excellent advantage, and he acts
with his customary Intelligence and clear-cut
force. He Is the principal of the prettiest
musical number In the piece, a smoking song,
which Is based upon the Kipling bon mot that
"a woman Is only a woman, while a good
cigar is a smoke." This is the song hit of the
show. The greatest personal hit In the piece
Is Bcored by B.C. Hertz, who gives a musical
comedy interpretation of The Private Secretary
role so famous in legitimate comedy- Mr
Herts is extremely artistic in carrying ont the
Idea, and adds enough originality to the theme
to hold It up as a creation of his own. Miss
Glaser has several numbers, some of which
are pretty, and some of which are not; but
she keeps her- own personality to the fore with
such aggressiveness that her admirers are
pleased at an times. Miss Dolly Dollars Is a
good entertainment of Its sort; ana while it
la not the best vehicle Miss Glaser has had.
it Is still of enongh value to attract fine busi-
ness and to well entertain Its patrons. Hence
, ttiere is no real fault to be found, there is
mnca for which patrons may be thankful.
OHB GREAT DBAMATIC TREAT
-When yonr pathway leads to an op-
portunity to witness Man and Superman, rush
to see It, for Man ana Superman Is fine and
superfine. It Is a brain-treat of exhilarating
quality; a. thonght-soorce of vast opportunity,
and a play or surpassing excellence. Its wit
is of the sort which Is beat denned as effer-
vescent; it bobbles, sparkles, foams and fairly
runs riotously from line, to line. It is the
quick, sharp and refreshing wit which can
■come' only from the most brilliant mind; it Is
wit which must be canght as It shimmers
for an Instant and .then flashes past,' - to be re-
placed by another and seemingly- brighter
thought. As for conventionalities, they are
simply mowed down- Topics which our grand-
mammas would only hint at In the darkness
-of the "spare room" clothes-closet are brought
-oat to dangle In the brightest light, while all
hands vent openly their honest opinions. The
■*Kwoa«u« the brilliancy, the utter abandon- of
this great work of Bernard Shaw is delightful
past my ability to even hint at. One should
witness the play three times before they should
attempt to write of it — and I have reveled In
it but once. Therefore, I feel at a loss and
confess my weakness to encompass the task
which is mine. The auditor is held trans-
fixed .by the brilliancy of the work and so
artistically has every member of the cast
risen to his or her opportunity, that it all
seems real life, and no acting at all. The play
Is a composite of epigrams, a lay-sermon which
preaches greater truths than many have cour-
age to accept; and It Is, above all, a brain-
exercise and mental treat worth traveling over-
land long miles to enjoy. Robert Loraine covers
himself with glory. He has one of the long-
est parts ever given to an actor, and he is
talking all the time; but his talk bristles with
Shaw's brilliancy, and his auditors never tire
of hearing his expressions. Edward Abies gives
a delightful portrayal of an Intellectual chauf-
feur, and wins one of the great hits made In
the play. Fay Davis, Louis Massen, Alfred
Hickman, Lois Frances Clark, J. D. Beveridge,
Chas. Gotthold. in fact every individual mem-
ber of the cast seem to. have been made to
play the roles assigned to them. Miss Clark
gives one of the most delightful vistas of
character comedy ever seen upon the stage.
Her helplessness Is delightful, her submission
to circu ms t an ces past her control, and her total
surrender to greater personal powers than her
own provide one of the happiest hits in the
piece. The play from start to finish and all
the players in it provide a combination of
dramatic excellence seldom excelled, and rarely
equaled. No wonder there Is scarce an empty
seat at the Hudson Theatre; the wonder Is
that every mortal with a brain-blessed head
in all New York does not join "the Shaw
Cult" and rejoice in their opportunity. For
Man and Superman is fine and superfine.
MISS ANI HILL HOLDS 'HTTP OWN
There have been lively times at the
Gotham Theatre, in Brooklyn, during the past
week. Miss Am sill has been the storm
center, and the daughter of the late Bessie
Bonehill has . provided the excitement. The
fun started' at the Murray HOI where, on, last
Sunday night. Miss Hill appeared In her songs
a la Bessie Bonehill. The press agent or the
house, not. content with the truth that Miss
Hill had purchased and would wear the cos-
tnmes once, owned by the "late Miss Bonehill.
bnt he added that she was a daughter of the
once famous English music hall star. This
assertion was also made by Percy Williams'
publicity promoter, and it brought forth the
Ire of the real danghter of the late Miss
Bonehill, a young woman not upon the stage,
but married and free to defend what she con-
siders to be her family rights. Miss Hill
claims to possess documents which substan-
tiate her rights to the Bonehill costumes, and
as she has the advantage of the nine points
which possession is supposed to give. Miss Bone-
hiii-s daughter can only use the other one
point to provide good advertising for Miss Hill.
DAVID PROCTOR GOES STASHING
On Saturday night Oct. 7, at As-
bury Park, N. J„ David Proctor opened his
starring tour in A Message From Mars. It
Is said that the role of Horace Parker was
offered to Mr. Proctor some six or seven years
ago, before the author. Richard P. Gantbrny,
had _any Idea, of visiting- London for the purpose
of placing the play. Mr. Proctor was very
much Impressed with the play, but did not
think that he had arrived at the starrlng-stage
at that time, so reluctantly returned the manu-
script. Mr. Ganthony was unsuccessful In plac-
ing It In this country, and sailed for London
In the hope of finding someone there who would
produce it. In this he was successful. Mr.
Charles Hawtrey took the play, played it suc-
cessfully for over two years In London, one
year In New York, and then en tour for two
seasons In this country.
A FISTIC HERO'S HARD LUCK
"Matty" Mathews, former welter-
weight champion of the world, has entered the
ranks of the men who ride the plunging horses
at The Hippodrome. The fighter, who has been
the principal in more than one hundred bouts
and who says they brought him $100,000, is
penniless. Fast living, he says, has taken
the last of the money which he had won in
the prize ring. Matthews made humble appli-
cation last week to Thompson & Dundy. In
his boyhood days, be said, he had won some
slight fame as a jockey, and he felt be had
the courage and ability to take the dive into
the big Hippodrome tank on horse. He was
given a position, and at his first two perform-
ances went through his programme without a
hitch or halt- Matthews lost the champion-
ship to "Rube" Perns In Toronto three years
ago, and since that time has been on the down
path. His last battle was with "Billy" Fey,
the champion of the sonth. They fought in
New Orleans a few months ago, and Matthews
won in ten rounds. His powers were fast
waning, however, it was apparent to him, and
he decided, a few days ago, that no more
honors were left for him with the gloves. In
his long career in the ring, he says that he
has lost only ten flights. He won the cham-
pionship from "Mysterious Billy" Smith, at the
Broadway Athletic Club, on April 27, 1Q00.
His share of the proceeds was S5.000. and, as
an example of the rash way In which he dis-
tributed his money, he tells that the following
day he placed $2,500 of the amount on a
horse race and lost It. Daring the year fol-
lowing his assumption of the championship, he
figured in thirty-two fights, was a victor in
every one of them and made $40,000. His
salary at the Hippodrome will be $15 a week.
"Mike" Leonard, known for years as the Rean
Brummel of fighters, had similar employment
at the Hippodrome a few weeks ago. He,
too. was without fnnds or friends. He lasted
three days.
BEN GBEEI'S PLAYERS
The forthcoming series of Shakes-
pearian revivals in the Elizabethan manner, by
Ben Greet's company, will commence In Men-

By WARREN A. PATRICK.
THERE may have been more
people and greater dignity at some
of the big openings of recent years,
but the most experienced has seldom
observed the enthusiasm, pleasure and full de-
!^e of capacity-testing throngs that greeted
S opening Of the New Colonial Theatre Sun-
rt»v nleht 1. The announcement of an ag-
Zesslve «■"» determined policy to make this
beautiful and wonderfully complete Randolph
street theatre the home of productions com-
InTfrom such a man as George W.- Lederer
,„d supported by the newly organized Metrop-
olls Theatre Co., of which William Harris,
the wealthy and immensely successful eastern
manager Is president, was given the stamp of
Tcepmbillty In the inauguration of house,
production and general new atmosphere the
opening night. That George M. Cohan. Fay
Templeton. and excellent company, and the
local management have scored a great success
in the new musical play. Forty-flve Minutes
From Broadway, is to be judged from the ex-
pression of the Chicago critics who attended the
opening performance, regardless of the fact
that there were other big attractions which on
another occasion would have been regarded as
sufficient to command exclusive attention:
W L Hubbard. Tribune: "George M. Cohan
justified Shakespeare last evening. The Im-
mortal William in one of his moments of In-
spiration and wisdom declared the play to be
the thing. Forty-five Minutes From Broadway
is so brilliant that it almost becomes tire-
some There are so many bright lines In it
that the mind of the listener wearies trying to
erasp them all. Little Johnny Jones convinced
that George M. Cohan was the cleverest writer
of musical plays that America can boast of
to-day. Forty-five Minutes From Broadway
served bnt to strengthen that conviction.'
James O'Donnell Bennett, Record Herald:
'•George M. Cohan has written another Little
Johnny Jones, only better, and the "unknown
has a successor. Johnny Jones has a sister,
and her name is Mary Jane Jenkins, nam
Mary, and the unknown's brother Is Kid Bums.
In ten minutes from the opening chorus Forty-
five Minutes From Broadway was a bit. The
action was swift and pointed; the characteriza-
tion was rich and true, and every line struck
like a trip-hammer."
Burns Mantle. Inter Ocean: "Forty-five Min-
utes From Broadway possessed enough that was
bright and new In song and joke to make the
audience like it. Miss Templeton sang de-
lightfully, better that she has in years, it
seemed. Kid Burns fairly bubbles with slang,
in fact, and being finely played by a cheer-
ful voung man named Victor, who is as unique
and 'refreshing and true to his kind as the
Greek frnit vendor ia true to a Chicago cor-
ner."
J. D. McArdle. Chronicle: "From the going
np of the curtain to its descent after the third
act, there were unmistakable evidences that
Mr. Cohan had made a successful play. There
Is straight comedy in it; there are several songs
in It, and there are farce and melodrama In
It also, and one or two places It verges a
little on the tragic order. But It is all lively.
Interesting, fresh, breezy and full of action."
Charles Eugene Banks, Examiner: "It Is
good to write success without an it. Forty-
five Minutes l From Broadway spells that word
from everybody who had anything whatever
to do with It. it pitched the key of interest
high with the very first speech, and literally
. hummed through three hours of wit, hnmor,
pathos and song. Mr. Cohan has woven a play
of much literary merit, as well as a good
acting and singing drama."
Molly Morris. Dally News: "Another great
night for George Cohan. Incidentally it was a
great night for Fay Templeton, Victor Moore
and the rest of the players who presented
Forty-five Mlnntes From Broadway at the Co-
lonial last evening. Those who liked Little
Johnny Jones will like this even better."
Barrett Eastman. Journal: "George M. Cohan
has rung the bell for the second time. His
Forty-flve Minutes From Broadway, which Fay
Templeton and a large company played last
nlcht for the first time at the Colonial Theatre.
Is as absurd a hash of fun and melodrama as
Iilitle Johnny Jones, bnt It Is nlso as good an
entertainment. At any rate. Forty-flve Minutes
From Broadway amused and thoroughly de-
lighted as many people as the Colonial could
hold last night."
M. Koenlgsburg, American: "George Cohan
of the nimble feet and nimble wits has las-
soed success again. His Forty-five Minutes
From Broadway. In which Fay Templeton
opened the New Colonial last night, has the
strawberry mark on its shoulder. It Is Just
picture Bhows, which are well patronized, most-
ly by the native population.
"At present the amusement situation is dull,
owing to this being the rainy season, which Is
about four months in duration. The Manila
street railway -will, soon commence building a
large park with all the latest amusements, and
several enterprises will he started by private
parties. Among these will be a continuous
vaudeville, complete penny arcade. Illusion
parlor and several blgh-prlced mechanical nov-
elties; so it Beems that Manila will not suffer
a dearth of amusements In the future."
THE TEXAS STATE FATR
Fred B. (Happy) Holmes was here
from Dallas. Tex., last week, and closed con-
tracts for a number of strong attractions for
the Texas State Fair. Mr. Holmes Is enthu-
siastic over the prospects at Dallas. He will
have fifteen paid attractions, all clean and up-
to-date, and a fine line of free acts. The New

feature of the Dallas Fair. Mr. Darnnhy will

The lines snap and crackle like a string of

the bunch. Forty-five Mlnntes From Broad-

Percy Hammond, Post: "Mr. Cohan's Forty-
five Minutes From Broadway made a definite
and decisive ten-strike at the Colonial last
evening. It Is a good show, .animated and
bright, sparkling with sunny lines."

baring nightly vaudeville entertainments by j of the United States, seeking The Billboard
high-class Australian artists. There are also as the proper medium to first mate the matter
numerous native theatres and several moving public. Mr. Coyle's mission in Chicago at
this time Is to look after his newspaper syndi-
cate work, to enlarge Its sphere of action, and
to collaborate in rewriting his comedy- satire
in three acts and a prologue, entitled Mr. Flip,
The Manager, with Marlon Tracy Whiting who
is to star In the production.
"I note by the Associated Press reports that
yon are a candidate for the governorship of
Colorado." I remarked to Mr. Coyle during
OUT: chat.
"Yes, I am out for that position, and hare
declared myself an independent candidate on
the platform I wrote, and which appeared In
The Billboard in September last. That la an-
other reason for my presence In Chicago. My
candidacy for governor— and I should like to-
be clearly understood— is not in any^ manner ,
political. There is no such thing nowadays as
cleanliness In politics, hence there are no
politics. The Independents ot the 'Jnstltla,'
which Is of my organization, are opposed to-
polltics, and we Intend to smother, like OtheUo
did Desdamona, and just as effectually, all
semblance of politics and politicians In the
United States, and give the real people a
chance for their 'white alley* once again.
Which means, reduced to the simple or golden
rule, that manhood and womanhood above money
has already been established by the Inde-
pendent movement. It was because there was.
nor is, no politics in the Independent — or man-
hood and womanhood — movement above money,
that I sought The Billboard to make my orig-
inal announcement. It very properly eschews
politics, and there are no persons on the earth
who are more independent than the workers
In the profession of entertainment which your
paperV represents. They are the unconscious
leaders of the thought of the country. Their
position Is the real sphere of Influence and
necessitates It. I have made a brief tour ot
the State of Colorado and a two day stay In
Kansas City on my way "to Chicago."
Mr. Coyle will remain In Chicago for two-
or three weeks before returning to Denver.
He Is in splendid health, and baB lost none
of the vigor that has kept him much In the
public jeye, these many years.

The, Season— Its Re POrts from all parts
Prospects of the country indicate
that the season has
opened auspiciously. Even in New Or-
leans things are moving 1 along nicely
now, and the prospects are that all the
quarantine restrictions will be raised
by the middle of the current month.
In New York, which represents the
East, the popular attractions are pros-
pering and business generally is on a
very high plane. The Chicago ther-
mometer that registers the theatrical
pulse for the middle and northwest
shows a very healthy condition. The
tar west, as seen in its San Francisco
theatres, is likewise happy.- Undoubt-
edly there have been better theatrical
seasons than this promises to be — but,'
also, there have been worse. In fact,
tile outlook is very gratifying. Gov
eenment crop reports show that agri
cultural conditions are better than
they have been for several years. The
industrial world is not at present dis-
turbed by any material difficulties to
clog the great wheels of artificial or
mineral production, and though there
are rumors of a general strike among
the coal miners with the first of the
coming year, the clouds have not as
yet assumed an ominous aspect, and
serenity prevails. Three more years
must elapse before another Presiden-
tial campaign shall cast the industrial
and financial heads of the country into
doubt and hesitation. This ought to
be a prosperous season from the pres-
ent forecast.
Are Orchestras A t a recent meeting of
Beceasaiyt the Association of Thea-
. tre Managers In New
York, the question whether or not the
orchestra is a necessary adjunct to the
drama was canvassed. The discus-
sion was started with a view, on the
part of several managers, to eliminat-
ing the orchestra feature of straight
dramatic productions. No decision
was reached, the question being laid
over for further argument at the next
meeting. A great deal might be said
on both sides, but it is hardly prob-
able that any material change win be
made from the present custom. In our
own opinion, theatregoers want the or-
chestral It is just as necessary to
working out the desired effects as are
lights and make-up. The finite mind
is susceptible to emotion. The first
object of the drama is to play on the
intellect— through the emotions. "We
don't want our drama too realistic.
There must be artificialities and ac-
cessories. Reality is commonplace.
Occasionally there must be thrills —
thrills for those whose intellectuality
prevails over their natural emotions,
as well as for those whose minds are
subordinate to their instincts. Shake-
speare shows his faith in the powers
of music through the speeches of sev-
eral of his characters as "He that has
no music in himself and Is not touched
by concord of sweet sounds is fit for
treasons, strategems and spoils; let
no such man be trusted." And, again,
in Twelfth Night, "If music be the
food of love, play on, give me excess
of it . . . That strain again; it had
a dying fall; O, it came o'er my ear
like the sweet south that breathes
upon a bank of violets, stealing and
giving odor." Shakespeare expressed
his appreciation of music as we all
feel it who are not too practical to
enjoy the romance of the drama.
Music creates the atmosphere of art;
players are inspired by it. and the
auditors are rendered impressionable
to the pathos and humor of the spoken
lines and unspoken psychologic sug-
gestions according as they are so pre-
pared. The orchestra will endure. Its
abandonment, at the worst, would be
only temporary.

From" the Actor's "Writing editorially in
Viewpoint *&e current number
of the Actors' Society
Monthly Bulletin, J. BE. Greene calls the
manager up on the carpet for a curry-
ing down before the readers of the
Bulletin. Mr. Greene thinks the man-
wire broke, making an instantaneous
leap imperative. Mr. Wallace struck
the net sidewise, and it is believed
that he was injured internally. Lat-
est reports announc that he was suf-
fering considerable pain.
Owing to ill health Richard Mans-
field has postponed his Chicago open-
ing from Oct. 16 to Oct. 30.

ruptcy at his home in Columbus, Ohio,

Mrs. Prank Burke, of the vaudeville
team of Frank and Ethel Burke, is con-

BOSTON'S NEW SUMMER RESORT
Next season Boston, Mass., will a new amnse-
ment resort in Wonderland Park and County
Fair, to be located at Revere Beach. The im-
mediate management of tills new feature is
to be in the hands of Fred. C. Thompson, tlie
New York amusement manager. The location
of Wonderland Park will lie second to none,
being adjacent to the must promiueut part of
the Boulevard, abutting almost directly U|> to
the state house bath and situated between the
Boston & Maine B. K. tracks on the main
line of the eastern division, and on. the beach
side by the Boston & Revere Ry. Co. The
street car facilities are the best to be had, as
the street car lines are all controlled by the
Boston & Northern St. Ry. Co., over which
system all suburban cars pass. All lines will
go directly by all the main entrances to Won-
derland.
The features will be all that could make a
park and such an- enterprise a success. Pos-
sibly one of the strongest will be the County
Fair Industrial and Manufacturers' Exposition,
to which one paying a visit may see all the
features of a country fair and its environ
i ments. This project is so far advanced that
ager commits a good many absurdi- j work naa begun ere this notice appears.
ties — "stupidities" he calls them, and '
in summing up the influences that!
conduce to the unhappy state of af-
fairs, the Bulletin's editor says:
To. these gentlemen a part is Jnst so many
pounds, so many inches of human being. . They
order a cast by the ton and so many cubic
teet — wholesale, some may have a very vague
suspicion tuat temperament ana training are
necessary, but as no scales and yard-measure
will guage these essentials, they chance them
and go for what they can see and weigh, and
trust to an overworked and underpaid stage di-
rector to animate the fleshly puppets.
All of which is generalizing extremely
to say the least, but The Billboard will
reprint the following excerpts without
comment, as portraying the artistic
conception which is not always, alas,
always balanced" with business acu-.
: men: ■■;•■:.':'
Another sapidity and lagging superfluous on
Another stupidity and lagging superfluous on
mnst be an Adonis. Seven years ago J. T.
Greta, in a review of the French stage, said
that In no theatre did he find an actor who
fitted or endeavored to train himself to fit the
old idea of the "Jenne premier." Personal
beauty Is no longer in demand in these days
of realism. The old Romantic Idea — still vig-
orous I on onr stage— was that the lover had to
justify tie heroines Infatuation by his ex-
treme comeliness. Nowadays, taught bv life
that love can come to all. the homely and the
comely, we are satisfied to let the love justify
its own existence. Let onr leading man be
a Lover and we can dispense with his Love-
liness. Now we are holding no brief for phy-
sical unfitness. To do this would he as great
a stupidity as the one we are attacking. Bnt
we are pleading for the undefended and neg-
lected — for the rights of the Emotions and
Brains. We are fighting, not so much against
the Insistence on the Physical as the neglect
of the mental, and are quite aware that the
Physical has its demands. But we insist that
the Popular managerial Idea that an andlence
is only Eyes, that a play is only a Moving
Picture, that actors mnst only "Look Parts."
Is the leaden lncnhns crushing the Heart and
Soul out of our stage.

" THE DIC K BAL L FUND
The following Is self-explanatory:
New York, Oct. 5, 1905.
The Billboard, City.
Gentlemen— At a meeting of ourselves, this
day. In the city of New York, we opened the
letters regarding the Dick BaU Fund, and are
now ready to make the following report:
• The total cash received for this fund, in-
cluding interest on same. Is ?l,S80.8y. The
cash expended was $928.37, leaving a balance
of $902.55.
The subscribers to the fund have voted largely
In the majority to give the money to R. G.
BaU. jr.. the only child of onr old friend Dick
Ball. The committee will place this money in a
Savings Bank where this young man will re-
ceive interest on same yearly for two years.
At the end of that time, if he Is entirely
worthy the administrators will turn the money
over to him. All this is in accordance with
the wish of the majority of the subscribers.
Hoping this explanation will be satisfactory
to the subscribers of this fund, we remain.
Respectfully,
BARNET LINK,
W. H. GARDNER,
JOS. MAYER.

The summer season Is off and the winter
business well under way in Colorado, and, after
a few weeks of the latter, the conclusion has
been formed that this winter will be the most
profitable the theatrical profession has ever en-
joyed In this part of the Roosevelt domain.
Throughout the state a few county fairs are
still pending, but the next two weeks will see
the end of that, although the weather Is al-
most certain to be warm and pleasant until
Christmas — ordinary clothes during the day
and light overcoats at night; sunshine nearly
every day. and probably not a flurry of snow
until well Into December. Then winter will
come for a few weeks, and again plenty of
pleasant weather until Februaryor March when
ten days more blizzard and spring will be at
hand.
In Denver all the houses are open and doing
an Immense business. John Con's new thea-
tre, the Empire, has bad a good run of hnr-
lesque under the management of J. E. Clifford
who resigned the position of news editor of
the Post, an evening paper owned by Tammen
and Bonfils. owners of the Floto Show. Clif-
ford was general manager of the Floto Show
one season when It was jnst budding Into a
real amusement enterprise. He has also done
dramatic criticism work on the local papers, and
is looked upon as a most valuable discovery
by Cort. A good business man. fairly well
versed in amusement business and a nival good
fellow make up the general characteristics of
the Empire's manager, and as he has every
newspaper man In the city behind him wishing
unqualified success, the chances are the new
fc°o»e will not get left In the running.
The ShubertB were on the books to open a
new theatre in Denver this season, but the
plans miscarried, although the fault was not
on the part of the local people. There was
more wind than money In the proposition, al-
though next season will probably show the out-
lines of the new honse. Denver capitalists were
i v ., I? pot ° p " "-"arter of a million dol-
lar building and rent It to the Shnberts, but
ID 6 ? J?5 n,ed flt ,M8t ■ flve y*"' 'esse and
however, are still talking, bnt beyond getting
word options on choice property are not spend-
ing much effort to snlt the outsiders.
Many years ago Denver had a little theatre
as gorgeously fitted and furnished as the finest
in the land. It was built of massive blue
granite waUs on the model of a well-known
castle In Germany. One night a careless at-
tache started a little blaze that spread, and
the theatre was gutted. For fifteen years or
more the massive granite walls have been an
eyesore on the principal street car thorough-
fare of the city, and now comes word that
the place is to be rebuilt and turned Into' a
playhouse, tne equal of which In furnishing
will not be seen in America. Like the old
Tabor, there will be no veneer, bnt every-
thing will be 24-karat fine from the wood-
work to the silk plush seats. Maybe the
Shuberts win get In on this space, hut the
present idea is to have a small but high-
priced house that will In no way cater to cheap
attractions.'
Plans are also on foot — and this time they
may be real — to build an Immense auditorium
to accommodate the national gatherings and
conventions that are booked for Denver dur-
ing the next five years. While the plans are
not yet in definite shape. It is almost certain
a special election will be held to vote abont
half a million In bonds, and the bouse will
be planned to accommodate not only Immense
auditorium gatherings, hot carnivals and cir-
cuses will be offered the place on rental. It Is
also mentioned that there will be about three
halls so arranged that all may be thrown Into
one for the big events.
The Broadway and Tabor Grand houses are
both doing capacity business with a decided
gain in the class of attractions over former
years. The coming of outsiders Into the field
so long controlled by these two houses has
prodded the trust Into giving a little more
for the 15 per cent., and. In return, the re-
mittances on said percentage show a substan-
tial Increase. Denver people always have money
for good amusements, and are easily divorced
from their coin.
The Orpheum is doing even better than last
season, so far as box-office receipts show, and
the quality of amusement offered is up-to-date
In every respect. Resident Manager F. B. Hen-
derson drops in occasionally to see how things
are going, but Business Manager A. C. Car-
son has matters kept np with such prompt-
ness and skill that there Is nothing to suggest
so Mr. Henderson departs for other places where
he Is Interested in amusements. Now he is
at Los Angeles bnt next week he may he at
Coney Island or a few days later in Paris,
nis confidence In Mr. Carson's management Is
unlimited and well deserved. Like all houses,
the Orpheum occasionally finds Itseir In a mlx-
np owing to delayed trains, wrecks, washouts
or failures of artists to make good. Mr. Car-
son has always met these little annoyances
with a full hand of tramps and the audience
has never known of any hitch. And, happily,
the substitutes have always been received with
even greater enthusiasm than was reasonable to
expect from the people who were sent In on
the circuit.
Mrs. Otis Spencer, a society woman of Den-
ver who has some talent, and who secured a
week's engagement at the Orpheum, had a
wildfire opening and was fairly successful dur-
ing the week. Mr. Beck has not burned any
wires In sending her contracts to go out on
the regular circuit, however, although he may
do so later In the season. Mrs. Spencer Is
well fixed financially, and has an elegant -home,
but the actor bee has been buzzing In her
family for years and — the same old story-
Changes on the Orpheum . stage have come
with nnwelcome freqnency this season. I. C.
Murphy, stage manager of the New Orleans
honse, was transferred here' during the yellow
fever panic and. last week was ordered back
to the swamps. There was almost a strike of
the stage crew who tried to plan some kind
of attachment to keep Murphy in Denver, but
the orders from Chicago were Imperative, and
the change was made. A handsome gold pin
was presented by the honse attachees the night
Mr. Murphy left Denver, and the feeling of
good fellowship was unbounded. The new stage
manager. Nat. Howard, who waB recently re-
tired from the road. Is a pleasant, capable,
well-liked man — probably above the average—
bnt few men In this world make the quick,
arm, warm friends Mr, Murphy made during
the few weeks he was here.
Another change on the Orphenm stage was
the falling from grace of Merle N. McGill.
property man, who has always been a woman
hater. Two weeks ago he dropped an ofaclal-
looklng document from his pocket and some-
body found It. A marriage license was fol-
lowed by a wedding and then a midnight ban-
quet which lasted so late somebody felt sorry
"Mac" was kept from home so long.
Throughout Colorado the same era of pros-
perity Is showing up and good money seems
to be growing on trees. Dozens of ten-cent
houses have been opened np. Some of them
are only temporary to catch the coin In locali-
ties where beet picking, potato digging or frnit
packing industries distribute much money for
three or six weeks.
In Cheyenne, just across the border on the
north, amusements are drawing as never he-
fore, and the old town with Its name of
terror, blood and brimstone Is taking on new-
life. A new $35,000 house has just been opened
to handle standard attractions, and several
smaller show shops are taking In dimes sev-
eral times a day. Emll Molherg. one of the
Industrious amusement caterers of the town, is
opening Germanla Hall, where music, lllus-
trnted songs and the like will be dispensed
with steins of flowing beverage with the foam
on the bottom.

THE SQUAW -MAN
Melodrama Possibilities Sacrificed to Psycho-
logical Situations— Cincinnati Attractions
Taking the exact definition of the term
™„iodrama The Squaw-Man belongs to that
catgow™ It 1« quite likely that the author,
•Edwin Milton Boyle, contemplated metodrama
X?,»n he wrote the play. A lesser artist than
wmiam Fa™ersham P would have been content
to let It remain melodrama with all the red
ire and sueak music effects available. But
thl lutcn-relarlon put upon It by Faversbam
nlaces The Squaw-Man safely under the head
of ^ure dram.; not of the highest character.
?„ be sure* but stlU drama as dlsUngulshed
j°, m the red fire sort, with strong psychological
tendencies Ionsly noted ta these col-
umns, The Squaw-Man has been materially
changed since Its Initial presentation last sea-
son? so that the present production, as given
at the Grand In Cincinnati last week. Is far
more satisfactory as a dramatic effort. The
portions excised were highly S P^ C '?"' "JJ:
ing for elaborate stage effects. What remains
defends upon the ability of the players to
P °The Plot Is Blmple and not unknown; 'tla the
story of the sacrifice of an Individual to save
the honor of a family. The first act Is taW
In England and serves to disclose the motive.
A brief scene would suffice and the presen-
tation would suffer nothing from Its brevity.
Indeed, there is an evident haste to have the
thing done with, and the few attempts at
comedy are lost in the shuffle. At a garden
party at his country home the- Earl of Ker-
hlU discloses to his mother that he has ap-
propriated the funds of the regiment of which
he Is the custodian, and lost large sums In spec-
ulation which he can not replace. To tne
Earl's cousin. Capt. James Wynnegate. the
mother turns for help to save the honor of the
family. Captain Wynnegate, In love with
Diana, Countess of Kerhlll. who but recently
became the unwilling bride of the Earl, re-
solves to sacrifice himself for that love and
disappears In a manner which proclaims him
an embezzler. .
Burring himself among the cowboys of Utab
Captain Wynnegate becomes Jim Carston. and
the remaining three acts deal with his Ufe as
a ranch owner to the wild west ...-._
Act II presents the Interior of the Long
Horn, saloon at the railway station and ship-
ping point near Carston's ranch. It develops
from the talk of the cowboys, good and bad,
congregated there that trouble Is being stacked
up for Carston by Cash Hawkins, rustler and
had man. During" these developments a party
of English tourists get off a train that has
stopped for water and enter the saloon. They
are the Earl of Kerhlll, Countesa Diana and
her cousin. Sir John Applegate. Sir John dis-
covers a resemblance to Captain Wynnegate In
Jim Carston who has invited all hands to
drink the health of the President of the nnlted
States and the Queen of England. The Earl
scouts at the suggestion, and a public disclosure
Is prevented. Diana refuses to be denied, and.
when opportunity offers, proclaims to Jim her
knowledge of his sacrifice and her undying
affection for him. , ,
The tourists depart and Carston is alone in
the saloon deep in dejection. Cash Hawkins
enters and Is about to pnt an end to Carston s
troubles when his own career Is suddenly ter-
minated. Carston Is contemplating the body
of his enemy when the Indian maiden, Nat-U-
rlch. creeps to his side and tells him that It
was she who kUled Hawkins.
Thoroughly down on his luck Carston mar;
rles Nat-u-rlch and becomes a "Squaw-Man.
The hopelessness of his position is not relieved
by the birth of a son, Hal: he is still a
"Squaw-Man"— a social outcast, despised alike
hy whltemen and Indians.
The third act affords a glimpse of life on a
•■at tie ranch. Carston 1ms reached the end_or
his rope: he is broke and Is about to abandon
the ranch and move on when the old family
solicitor arrives from London and tells him of
the death of the Earl of Kerhlll. urging him
to return and assume ills position at the
head of his family. The thought enthuses
rarston at first, hut the appearance of his
little son drags him back to the hopelessness
or his position— he Is a "Squaw-Man."
Rejecting all overtures affecting himself
<'arston nssents to a proposal that his son
he sent to England to receive an education
befitting his rank. When this plan Is dis-
closed to Nat-u-rlch It drives her to despera-
tion and the hills.
While Carston Is struggling with these emo-
tions Diana appears utinnnonnced upon the
scene and learns the state of affairs for the
first time. ' Croat ns Is her disappointment
she takes com rort In the thought that. If she
can't have Jim, she will be a mother to his
son.
In the last act the sheriff appears, bent on
'he arrest of Nat-u-rlch for the murder of
nawklns. The Indians have learned of his
Intentions and threaten trouble, hut Nat-u-rlch.
In desnalr because of the loss of her son. ends
her life and the play by committing suicide.
One may gather, from even this hasty sketch,
what a wealth of roaring comedy and spec-
tacular tragedy the story contains. Faver-
Kham has elected not to avail himself of these
possibilities, choosing, rather, to portray the
lifp trnivdv' of that very human person the
"Squaw-Man." HIS Is a tale of silent of-
fering from the first — not of n weaMlng. hut
of a strong character. As Captain Wynnegate
he Is a hero of Splon Kop and has won all
kinds of medals for bravery In the discharge
of his *uty. When called upon to make a
sacrifice for his family and the happiness of
the woman he loveB he accepts It calmly and
bravely.
Stlffllng his emotions In the presence of Diana
at the Long Horn saloon, he reveals his utter
desolateness by going the limit In marrying
the Indian girl, who has saved his life from
the murderous designs of Cash Hawkins.
For him there seems no ray of hope; no
sliver lining to the cloud that hangs black over
his life. His momentary joy at the thought
of home when the family solicitor apprises
him of the death of the Earl, is turned -to
deepest gloom when he remembers bis - con-
dition. Having passed through the anguish
occasioned by his consent to separation from
his son, he Is able to face calmly the ap-
pearance of Diana. Even when the final trag-
edy comes that releases him from his hope-
less life, the thing has so crushed his am-
bition that he receives the dead body of Nat-u-
rlch and bears it away as though his whole
being were centered in that senseless bit of
clay.
Such is Faversham's characterization of The
Squaw-Man. Do you think It dull? It Is not;
It thrills and fascinates you. It takes hold
on your heart; women sob aloud and strong
men shed tears out of sheer sympathy for the
living, breathing, suffering man, Jim Carston,
So completely doeB Faversham weave this spell
about his audience that the delicious bits of
comedy Injected now and then seem but mock-
ery. He impresses one with the quiet suffer-
ing of a strong man In a way that can not be
forgotten. Therein lies his greatest art.
The support is excellent. George Fawcett's
Big Bill, the foreman. Is choice. Under more
happy conditions his cowboy comedy would
have a better effect on the audience. As it is,
he does manage to take the mind off Carston s
tough luck at times.
As Cash Hawkins W. S. Hart comes as near
to a had cowboy as It is possible to get on
the stage. If you ever saw one shoot np a
town yon will feel like dodging when Cash
Hawkins cuts loose. What a sensation he
could make by cleaning out the Long Horn.
It has been said that Hart's boyhood days
till he was fifteen years old were spent among
cowboys. That ought to help some.
Miss Selene Johnson as Diana. Countess Of
Kerhlll. Is charming. Beautiful In form and
feature, her portrayal was that of a true wom-
anly nature, loyal to its Ideals. A ""ilJ":
mantle Indian maiden could not be wished
than Mabel Morrison's Nat-u-rlch, and a real
Indian chief would not have ^been more Im-
pressive than the Tabywana. of Theodore Rob-
"cecll 'Ward as Sir John Applegate, had all
the airs of a "toff" to the manor born. Wil-
liam Frederick's Sheriff Hardy Is not a story
book sheriff, and intimates that the blight of
polities has fallen upon the wild west.
If the Cincinnati engagement can be taken
as a cue there can be no further donbt as
to the success of The Squaw-Man. Before the
week was half spent "sold out" signs were
displayed at the Grand.
The bill at the Colombia last week was
above the average. Mons. Paulo and Mile.

Flo Adler In a repertoire of songs was ^re-

fied. Her introduction of a boy to sing back
at her from one of the boxes, while nothing
of a novelty, received too many encores to
count. Her interpretation of the song. If Yon

made for a southern tour, but the prevalence
of yellow fever and the apparent danger of
such an attempt led the management to close
the season at Lebanon. The show pulls into
Cincinnati Tuesday, Oct. 10, and will Imme-
diately go into winter quarters.
Lee Suuberfs visit to Cincinnati Is not with-
out its theatrical significance. The independent
manager dropped into the Queen City early
Sunday morning and by previous appointment
met \Vm. S. Brown at his hotel. Mr. Brown
is the lessee of the Majestic Cafe site, just
across Vine street from the Grand Opera
House. Mr. Shubert proposed to purchase
Brown's lease of this site. The consultation
lasted several hours. The entire situation was
gone over aid there seemed to be no se-
rious hitch in the proceedings. No definite
agreement was entered Into. Monday morning
the two gentlemen visited the Majestic, Mr.
Shubert making a complete and thorough sur-
vey of the entire building. A copy of the
city and state regulations for the construction
of theatre buildings was then procured by
the New York mail and he departed eastward.
Mr Brown has been reconstructing the Majes-
tic building for the purpose of opjmng up a
first-class music hall. Work has been tempo-
rarily stopped.
WILL A. McCONNELL DEAD
Will A. McConnell, actor, manager, racon-
teur and press agent, died at Roosevelt Hos-
pital, New Tork City. Oct. 3, after an Illness
of less than two weeks. Mr. McConneU was
stricken with ptomaine poisoning about two
weeks ago, and for the first few days he gave
every evidence of improvement. The third day
he left his room and spent several hours at
his office, dictating press matters for The
Walls of Jericho Co. Upon his return to the
hospital he was seized with convulsions, and
it was decided that an operation was neces-
sary. The operation appeared successful and
the patient rallied, but on Friday - be had a
sinking spell. Mr. McConnell gradually grew
weaker and passed away quietly Tuesday even-
ing about 8 o'clock.
Mr. McConnell appears to have filled almost
every office offered by his chosen profession.
He was born in Detroit, Mich., fifty years

The weekly crop bulletin of the Weather
Bureau summarizes crop conditions as follows.
The weather conditions, ending Oct. 3, as a
whole, were exceptionaUy favorable to agri-
cultural Interests. Under the influence of warm
and generally dry weather throughout the cen-
tral valleys, lake region and Atlantic Coast
districts, late crops watered rapidly. Florida
and portions of the Central Gulf districts suf-
fered injury from excessive rains, while much-
needed ratos feU in the Rocky Mountain and
North Pacific Coast regions. The Middle and
South Atlantic States and Southern Texas are
in need of rain. Frosts occurred t ln the Middle

GOTTVTE-SORPEN. — -Fred Gouvle and Miss
Myrtle Sorden. both well known professionally,
were married Sept. 27 at Carthage. Mo.
ago. His father was for twenty years in-
structor In Latin at the Ann Arbor University,
bnt WUI took less to classics than to eomlcau-
Hes. At the age of fourteen he organized an
amateur company. It went on the road and
got as far as Jackson, where Will declared
there were so many rotten eggs that he had
to close the company. For the next three
years he dabbled In amateur theatricals. At
the age of seventeen he secured an engage-
ment with John McCullougb, the tragedian,
who was very much attracted by the boy a
ready wit and bis talent at repartee. McCon-
neU began by doing .small Parts with MeCnl-
longh and acting as general utility man. At
the close of this engagement, which continued
for three years. McConnell was advance agent
for the tragedian. His capacity for devising
new advertising schemes and his general busi-
ness ability placed him In the highest rank as
an advance man. ,,„_•,
Following this engagement with McCullougb.
Mr. McConneU served In the same capacity for
a number of weU known stars among them
being Herbert Kelcey. Julia Marlowe Eflle
Shannon. Amelia Bingham. Marie Dressier and
others. Twenty and twenty-five years ago Mc-
Connell was Charles Frohman's most success-
ful advance man. A part of his f"l»^reer
was spent as manager of the rebuilt Brooklyn
Theatre, bnt his five years' management of
this honse was not as successful as his pre-
vious efforts, nor was house management ac-
tive enough for him. and at the close of the
contract he went back on the road.
About fifteen years ago the Klaw ft Er-
langer Booking Agency bad an energetic rival
in McConnell's Theatrical Exchange. Mr. Me-
CnnnelU made considerable money out of this
venture, but after several months of nourish-
ing business he abdicated the field to the nn-
dlspnted possession of Messrs- Klaw * tsr-
langer. and he became manager of Roster • ft
Rial's Mnsic Hall. Under his management this
resort was a big success, becoming the ren-
dezvous for the best known lawyers, poUtt-
clans and bon vivants of the metropolis. It
was during this engagement that McConnell
discovered WlUlams and Walker. He place"
them under a long contract at the music hall.
Their success was Instantaneous, and tney
proved a gold mine to the music hall com-
pany.
Retiring from Koster ft Bial's Music Hall
Mr. McConnell retired to Mexico and Invested
part of his fortune In the hotel bnslness. He
shortly returned to New York City and en-
tered the newspaper bnslness. becoming the
first dramatic editor of the Morning Telegraph.
The last ten years of his life were spent as
manager and press agent for various compa-
nies, his last— the one he held at the time Of
his death— being as business manager and
T>ress agent for James K. Hackett and Mary
Mannering.
As was Manrlce Barryraore so will Will A.
McConnell be best known as a wit. The two
often crossed swords with any of them at the
Lamb's Club, and Mr. ^"" n !^* t l^ t \*
would fill many volumes of « n «'resttag read-
ing A man of almost unhonnded theatrical
information, he was always in demand ; ^tnd
bis pleasing personality won for Mm scores
of friends on both sides of the Atlantic. Mr
McConnell will be long remembered, for bee
filled an Important place in theatricals ton"
thirty years. \
Mr. McConnell was married about f«een
Tears ago to Miss Mollle Sherwood, of Los
Anceles . Cal. At that time Mlsa Sherwood
was a member of Russell's City Directory Co..
of which Mr. McConnell was business man-
ager Thev were planning to celebrate their
fifteenth anniversary Oct. 20.

FRAUD! FAKE!
WARNING!
There have been lately foisted upon the public spurious counterfeits of the MOVING PICTURES OF THE BRITT VS. NELSON FI6HT.
The fraud is shabbily clothed under the cowardly verbiage "reproduction of the Britt-Nelson fight." This fraud-
gives six alleged rounds, posed for by dummy boxers. The only genuine pictures of this battle, the most sensational
in the annals of the prize-ring or of moving photography, are the protected property of J. W. COPFROTH. By
virtue of instructions from Mr. Coffroth and acting under the best legal advice, I hereby warn all owners of build-
ings, lots, theatres, stores, halls, etc., that under the international copyright laws as well as the laws covering fraud,
that they are liable for damages should they lease, harbor, rent, aid or abet exhibitions of this sort.
FEDERAL INJUNCTION PRQGEEDIN6S on behalf of the owner of the copyright, with petitions for damages were
